Get your taxes done using TurboTax

For self-employment, if you didn't receive a 1099-MISC for that income, it will be entered into the Business area of TurboTax in the Business Income section, then General Income (skip past the 1099-MISC area). 

How to get to that area  While inside the software and working on your return, type Schedule C in the Search at the top of the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there).  There will be a popup that says Jump to Schedule C.  Select that to get to the general area. 

When you set up your business, you can use your own name, address, and social security number (if you don't have a business name or EIN). Then, when done with the Business Profile:

  • go to Business Income and Expenses

  • enter a description for the income (ex. Services, or Consulting, Customer Sales) and the amount
