The self employed section is not letting me add deductions to my schedule C. How do I get to the deductions screen like the help section says I can?

The help section gives specific instructions which do not work.

If you're entering your self-employment income and expense using TurboTax Online, follow these steps: 

 

1. Select Tax Home from the left side menu

2. Select Federal from the menu

3. Select Wages & Income from the menu

4. Select Self-employment income and expenses

5. Select the line of work that you want to add expenses to i.e. "Graphic design" or "Rideshare Driver"

6. Select (+) Add expenses for this work

 

If you're using TurboTax Desktop, your navigation will mirror the above starting at step 2, and your menu buttons will be across the top of the screen.

Are you using the Online version?   

You can enter 1099NEC or cash Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe  but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium version.
