What does "Check the box at the top of Schedule C to indicate that the taxpayer's name and the buisness name are the same" mean?

(This is for part time Doordash) I just don't know what box to check or if I should write my name or what.

If you have not given your side hustle a business name, just click the box that your name and business are the same.  Not a big deal!! Does not affect the tax computation.

Thank you! I was confused because I couldn't find a check box, but typing in my name worked. Have a nice day!

I am in the 2024 Tax Year version online.  Where is this box at the top of Schedule C?  I cannot find this box on the form anywhere.  Thank you.

In the Business Profile; see below.   But I believe you said your 1099-misc was for interest.   If it is for personal interest you received, you don't need Schedule C as Schedule C is only for self-employment activity.   If this is for interest, you should delete the Schedule C.  @johngwaechter
