You do not have direct access to forms or schedules with online TurboTax. Forms mode is a feature of desktop download software only. With online you can preview your Form 1040 and Schedules 1, 2, or 3. AFTER you pay your fees you can see the other forms and schedules.
PREVIEW 1040
Some expenses, such as home office or section 179 depreciation can only be used to reduce your schedule C taxable income to zero, and not to create a loss. Excess deductions for these carry over to the next year. And you have to answer yes to both questions about exclusive and regular use, not just one. The area of your home office must be used regularly and exclusively for business to deduct it.
Or you checked the box on Schedule C line 32b saying Some Investment is Not at Risk.
If you have money not at risk you can not take a loss on schedule C. If you don't know what it means then probably All your Investment is at Risk (check Box 32a). It means you are using your own money for the business. People usually check the wrong box.
