How do I input business expenses without a W-2?

This is a small start up business so I don't have a W-2 or income but I do have business expenses.

You can enter Schedule C for Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop Download programs. You can buy the Desktop Download program here,
