How do I add the business forms? I am in the Self-Employed section but I see no forms for my business.

Did you enter your business income?   How to enter self employment income

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed/help/how-do-i-report-income-from-self-employment/00/...

 

Actually I would just enter your total income as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income.  You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K.  Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash.  Only the total goes to schedule C.

 

You will need to keep good records.  You may get a 1099 at the end of the year if someone pays you more than $600 but you need to report all your income no matter how small and if you don't get the 1099NEC.  For the future, you should use a program like Quicken or QuickBooks to track your income and expenses.  There is a QuickBooks Self Employment bundle you can check out which includes one Turbo Tax Online Self Employed  return....

You use your own records.  You are considered self employed and have to fill out a schedule C for business income.   You use your own name, address and ssn or business name and EIN if you have one.   You should say you use the Cash Accounting Method and all income is At Risk.   

 

After it asks if you received any 1099Misc or 1099NEC it will ask if you had any income not reported on a 1099Misc. You should be keeping your own records.  Just go through the interview and answer the questions.   Then you will enter your expenses.

 

Self Employment tax (Scheduled SE) is automatically generated if a person has $400 or more of net profit from self-employment.  You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400.  The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare.  So you get social security credit for it when you retire.  

 

The SE tax is already included in your tax due or reduced your refund.  It is on the 1040 Schedule 2 line 4 which goes to 1040 line 23.  The SE tax is in addition to your regular income tax on the net profit.

 

Here is some IRS reading material……

How do I add the business forms? I am in the Self-Employed section but I see no forms for my business.

The input screens will generate all of the forms associated with your business.  In the Online Self-Employment version, the FORMs view is not available.  However, you can post all of your information, and all of the FORMs will be populated.

 

To post your business:

  1. Start at Federal
  2. Wages & Income
  3. Scroll down to Self-Employment [Show More]
  4. If you've already started your business, select [EDIT] on the menu bar.
  5. If you haven't started, proceed through the interview.

You can prepay for TurboTax Online and be able to print or view all of the forms.

Or, you can purchase the CD/Desktop (Home & Business) software and have the option to view the forms interactively.

 

Reminder: When you're in TurboTax, and you're not sure of something, select the (?) next to the topic for more information.

 

If this does not completely answer your question, please contact us again and provide some additional details.

Thank you. I see that, but it is only allowing me to grab from square in terms of what we brought in, but it’s not letting me add deductions.
