How do I on a MFJ file a separate Sch C for each spouse - different business?

I'm using TT Home and Business (not an option under the product drop down).

I'm a minister filing MFJ.  I had a small amount of outside income which I must file on Sch C.  My wife also had a small amount of income from a different business.

Haven't been able to discern how to file 2 separate Schedule Cs on one return.

Home & Business should be an option if you first pick the Desktop program.

To add another business or Schedule C….
Go to Business tab-Continue
Business Income and Expenses
Profit or Loss from Business, click Start or Update.  

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

Be sure to add it under the right spouse if you are married.

This is what I'm looking for!!! But there's not much info on this-- I guess that's why we're looking at posts from 5+ years ago.  Is this still good info?

If you need to file a Schedule C for you and your spouse, then all you need to do is after you enter your business information and income and expenses, select Add Another Business.  When you do so, you will be asked who the business is owned by, there you will select either you or your spouse depending on who the owner is.
