How do I fill in the schedule c business section of my tax return?

In order to complete a Schedule C in TurboTax you will need TurboTax Self-Employed or TurboTax Live Self-Employed to file a Schedule C.

Once you have the correct version of TurboTax you can complete the Schedule C by following these steps:

  1. Open or continue with your return.
  2. In the Search box type schedule c. 
  3. Click the Jump to link in.
  4. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
  5. Follow the onscreen instructions.

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version.  Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs.

Or There is also The Turbo Tax Free File program which is free for federal and state.  And has more forms than the Federal Free Edition, like Schedules A, B, C , D, E, F, EIC, H, K-1, SE,  etc.

 

To qualify for the Free File website  you just need to meet one of these 3 things.
