You can view your entry in Forms mode. Please do the following to determine the error:

  1. Click Forms located in the upper right corner of your screen
  2. Scroll to and click Schedule C wks located in the left side menu
  3. Any errors to your return will appear with a red exclamation point. You will click on the red Errors stop sign shown above the Forms in My Return heading
  4. Review the data entered. Any entry shown in yellow or doesn't involve a calculation can be changed in the Forms mode.  All other color changes will have to be completed in the interview section of the return. 
  5. Click Step by Step located in the upper right corner of your screen to return to the interview section and make the necessary correction(s) to your return.
If you need to make changes in the interview section of the return, type Schedule C in Find, then click the Jump to schedule c link, navigate through the program and select Update next to Other Common Business Expenses and make the necessary correction to the appropriate expense listed.
