Listed as sole proprietor. When clicking around on the TurboTax web site, I said no risk to business investment at risk

The more reading I do, on the Turbo Tax web site, in fact...it mentions that as a sole proprietor, it is rare to say no risk. Which, looking back, makes sense. 

 

However, now that I entered that, how can I go back and make the adjustment. Obvious if anything goes wrong with the business, as I understand it, I am the one responsible, because I run it alone.

    You are at risk for the amount of money you have invested into the company.

    Yes, you are 'at risk' if you could lose your money and/or property that you put into a business (Limited Partnership).

     

    Amounts not at risk include nonrecourse financing, or guarantees or agreements that limit the losses of the taxpayer.
