Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between business and professional income?

Business income comes from a trade or commercial activity, while professional income comes from a profession, such as accounting or law, and may involve work in progress. The T2125 has separate areas for each; use the one that fits your work.

Does the T2125 file on its own?

No. It supports your personal return. You calculate the net self-employment income on the T2125 and report that amount on your T1 return filed with the CRA.
