  1. I had the same problem when filing my T4A slips in 2019. I am self-employed as a consultant in Investors Group and I receive commissions from both the investment side and insurance products. Here is how to do it correctly: 1. At the navigation column to the left of the screen, select interview setup. 2. Look for the group box that says "Pension." 3. Click the only box in this group that says "Pension income, other income and split pension income ..." 4. Before navigating to another screen, look for the group box that says "Self-employment." 5. Click the first box that says "Self-employed business income." 6. Click on T4A and pension income on the navigation column. 7. Look for T4A - Pension, retirement, annuity and other income to your right, click on the + button (HINT: if you have more than 1 T4A issued, you will have to repeat this step for each T4A issued. In my case, I had to complete 2 of these pages.) 8. Input issuer name in first row, your commissions in box 020. Click NEXT button on bottom right of screen. 9. Look below in the errors/warning/information screen, you should see a warning that says T4A - Self-employment commissions (box 20) ... click on the Commission income link. 10. Look to the right, click on the + button in the Self-employment income screen at the end of the line that says T2125C - Commission income. 11. Enter the required fields including the appropriate NAICRs code. I used my name as the business name in this example. Click NEXT button on bottom right of screen. 12. Input your commissions in the data field beside Self-employed commissions (T4A Box 020). (HINT: only input the amount shown on the first T4A - do not total the amounts for more than one T4A.) Complete the rest of the screen if appropriate. Click NEXT button on bottom right of screen. Navigate your way through the rest of the screens i.e. motor vehicle expenses, home office expenses, etc. 13. Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8 for your second T4A. 14. Click on Self-employment income on the navigation column. 15. Look to the right, click on the + button in the Self-employment income screen at the end of the line that says T2125C - Commission income. 16. Enter the required fields including the appropriate NAICRs code. I used my name as the business name in this example. Click NEXT button on bottom right of screen. 17. Input your commissions in the data field beside Self-employed commissions (T4A Box 020). (HINT: only input the amount shown on the second T4A - do not total the amounts for more than one T4A.) Complete the rest of the screen if appropriate. Click NEXT button on bottom right of screen. Navigate your way through the rest of the screens i.e. motor vehicle expenses, home office expenses, etc. 18. Click on the 3 REVIEW tab at the top toolbar to check if all calculations are made without warnings and errors. 19. If everything was inputted correctly, you should see Calculation Finished at the top of the screen, review messages on any warnings you receive, correct the warnings, click on the 3 REVIEW tab at the top toolbar to recheck if your tax return is ready to be filed. (i.e. it is without warnings and errors). 20. To enter charitable donations, medical expenses, and any other relevant information, return to 2 INTERVIEW. Your tax return should be ready to be e-Filed after completing the above steps. Be sure to view/print your tax return first, then net file it second.
