Here are the steps to enter your self-employed expenses:

While signed into your account,

  • Go to Search (upper right of program) and search "business expenses" and click the "Jump to Schedule C" link from results
  • Click Edit next to your business and scroll down the next page to Business Expenses
  • Under Other Common Business Expenses you will see a list of common business expenses and can click Start next to any that apply to you.  If you do not find a specific expense, scroll to bottom under Other Common Business Expenses to Other Miscellaneous Expenses.  Use the "More Examples" blue link to learn what type of expenses are listed in the categories.
