Get your taxes done using TurboTax

This is getting stranger and more worrisome.  I came back to it this morning, and now . . . . !!! . . . . the 1099-NEC Income is showing, and correctly!

 

It had to sit overnight and finish thinking about it and then it worked!

 

And next . . .

 

She also earns money giving in-person college guidance counseling.  High school juniors, whose parents want someone to guide the kid along, hire Susan to give that guidance.  She was guidance counselor at a small private school for 35 years, and now she does the same work, as a retirement gig, but now for a fee.

 

So . . .

 

I went back to the Business Income page, and went to General Income, which showed the amount she had for that in 2023, so I was confident that that was where I was to enter 2024's individual guidance income.   That took me to a table for "Description" and "Amount" so I entered "College Guidance fees" and $3,150.  When I clicked Continue, it took me back to the page "Business Income" and . . . RATS AND DARN!!!! . . .  just like for the 1099-NEC Income, now the General Income just says $0.  It makes me want to come back tomorrow morning and see if it says $3150!!

 

Anyone ever see this kind of thing?  I enter data and it doesn't show up as being entered!!!

 

Wait - I just saw the $3150 in the Schedule C Worksheet along with blank lines for various other incomes not on 1099-NEC or 1099 MISC.  So I took a shot in the dark and went back to fill in $0 for those other things, and finally the $3150 showed up in the list!!

 

So I was just missing a piece of how this works?  How the desktop version works?
