Thanks for the info! However, I am still left with my original question. If I don't need to fill out a Schedule C, why was it generated? I answered that it was an uncommon situation - a signing bonus from a payer not my employer, that it involved work like my main job (is this what's generating the Schedule C? I said yes because it led directly to my new job, but should it really be answering no? I'm not a recruiter.) I also said that it involved an intent to make money, which is the point of a new job. Which of these questions are leading to the Schedule C and, if it's not necessary to have one of those, I'd like to know which questions to answer - and how- to avoid this since Turbo Tax is generating the Schedule C.
