Tax Year Prior to 2020: Amend and add schedule C

[royhry77]

I recently did my taxes on the free addition and did not file my schedule C. Even though I didn't make a profit or any income from the business this year I wanted to do it for tax deductions on my equipment. But the thing is I cant find how to file on the free addition. Help! much appreciated.

You cannot file a Schedule C on the Free Edition of TurboTax.  You need to upgrade to the Self-Employed version of TurboTax to have the additional schedules needed for filing your own business income and expenses.

If you are filing with TurboTax online, let's do these:

• Check your internet connection.  Try to log out and sign back in the program. 
• Clear your cache and sign back into the program.   To clear cache, click here: Cache
• You may also try a different browser.  

If you are self-employed and need to upgrade to the self-employed online edition, here are the steps:

• Sign back into your account and select Pick up where you left off
• To your left, select Upgrade
• See the image below

It appears that you already have filed your return and it has been accepted which means you need to file an amended return (Form 1040X). 

Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.  Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.  

If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  

If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.

You can check the status of your amended return by clicking here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/individuals/amended-returns-form-1040-x-/wheres-my-amended-return-1
