Thank you again! Yes, I am self-employed. But I also receive W-2's from movie companies that are paying me residuals on old TV shows. My income is a real Frankenstein's monster. Not wealthy, but I make a bit here and a bit there. I teach acting in animation studios and to individual performers, and I write books that pay a few thousand dollars in Royalties. I also get pensions from Screen Actors Guild, and my wife and I have Social Security. I even have some income from Foreign companies that do not issue 1099's. My wife and I had a really good tax man for years and years. We gave him totals of expenses and income, and he worked it all out. It was not until I started with Turbo Tax that I actually closely studied what he had done. Now I see that #711510 if a lovely "catch-all" for me. 100% of the income-producing things I do all spring from the fact that I was a working actor for so many years. I am truly self-employed. It is inaccurate to say that, for example, my home office expenses are only a factor for "writing". I use the home office for everything! I even do some teaching over Skype, right from my home office.
I will search for the "Clear and Start Over" option, which I have not yet seen. That sounds like the best option. Thank you again!
