How do I get direct access to Schedule C to fill in my specific costs ?

When you enter the Schedule C, you'll first be asked to set up your business, then add income and next, your epenses. Follow the steps below.

 

We'll automatically complete Schedule C or C-EZ when you set up your self-employment work in TurboTax or when you enter what the IRS considers self-employment income (it’s often reported on a 1099-MISC).

Schedules C and C-EZ are supported in TurboTax Self-Employed (both online and in the mobile app) and in all personal 1040 versions of the TurboTax CD/Download software.

To set up your business:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Search for schedule c and select the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? and follow the instructions.
    1. If you've already entered self-employment work and need to enter more, select Add another line of work.

If you need Schedule C to report a 1099-MISC, search for 1099-misc and select the Jump to link. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC? and follow these directions. We'll ask questions to find out if the income needs to go on Schedule C or C-EZ and add the right schedule to your return (if needed).

If your return only requires Schedule C-EZ, we'll generate Schedule C  for calculation purposes. It won't be filed with your return.

How do I get direct access to Schedule C to fill in my specific costs ?

Had to talk to one of your online consultants.  The direct access to any of the forms is only available in the desktop version.  Otherwise you have to put up with the annoying and sometimes inappropriate interview.
