Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can report self-employment with a simple Schedule C, but that will not allow you to report any expenses. 

Additionally, if you have self-employment income, the IRS requires you report the income as well as any business expenses. 

(if a taxpayer improperly claimed income without the expenses, they could get an Earned Income Credit that they are not entitled to)
