How do I fill out Schedule C for Form 1099-NEC? in review it tells me to check my entry and highlights Schedule C for me to input something. I out my income, doesnt work

[gibgab93]

I add my income into the highlighted Schedule C where it says "double click to link to:" but when I press continue, it just clears out the form and says to enter it. This is all thats stopping me from filing my taxes /: I thought Turbo Tax automatically did the Schedule C for me?

If your return does not include a Schedule C, then TurboTax is trying to get you to fix, this issue.

Any income reported on Form 1099-NEC is not reportable directly on your tax return. Since this type of income is considered self-employment (non-employee compensation) it must be linked to a Schedule C, even if there are no expenses being claimed. 

To add a Schedule C so your 1099-NEC can be linked:

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax
2. In the Search box type schedule c and click the Jump to link in the search results.
3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
4. Follow the onscreen instructions.

The information required for the Schedule C will include the type of business, the business name (or your name if there is no specific business name), the business address (or your address), etc.

How I get Schedule C  in Turbotax delux

[LenaH]

Please follow these steps in TurboTax to add your Schedule C:

1. Open your return.
2. Search schedule c with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
3. Go to the Jump to schedule c link in the search results. 
4. Click on Add another line of work.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

It is important to note that for a Schedule C, you will have to upgrade to the Self-Employed TurboTax version.

To fill out the schedule C do I need to start over when i upgrade to self employed? 

[AnnetteB6]

No, you will not have to start over.  All of your information you have entered so far will still be there after you upgrade to a higher version of TurboTax.  

The higher version will allow you to claim your income and expenses related to your self-employment income that is reported on Schedule C.  Without being able to include your expenses, your income tax and self-employment tax will be higher.  Lower versions of TurboTax will allow you to enter Schedule C income, but not expenses.
