box for "Employment expenses" and click

generated
In addition, the program will carry the amount on line 22900 of
the federal return and on line 207 of the Quebec return, with the
appropriate code displayed on line 206.
However, you may choose to be considered
self-employed if, at the time, during a given
year.

producers.
