Are you using the Desktop CD/Download program?

Go to Business tab- then Continue
Choose Explore on my own or I'll choose what to work on  (if it comes up)

Then…..
Business Income and Expenses - Click the Start or Update button

You should see the Business Summary page that lists your businesses, (right below the list you can Add Another Business)

Then click EDIT by the business name and the next screen should be a list of  topics,
Business Profile, Income, Inventory/Cost of Goods Sold, Expenses, Assets, and Final Details last.

Click Start or Update by Business Profile
Then click Edit by the item you need to change

Business Owner is the 1st Edit button
Business Name & Address is the 2nd Edit button
Acquired Business during year is the 3rd Edit button
