Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are self-employed, reporting your income on Schedule C of the 1040, then you don't pay yourself a salary.  

 

Your income is entered and is reduced by any applicable expenses.  The result is your net profit/loss.  

The profit is then your taxable income from the business.
