Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Notary income is unique. Notary income and expenses go on Schedule C, but the net income is not subject to Self-Employment Tax.

If you have self-employment tax at this point, that's good. That means your income is being reported in the correct place.

Now, you get rid of the Self-Employment Tax while leaving the income on Schedule C:

  • Federal Taxes
  • Other Tax Situations
  • Business Taxes
  • Self-Employment Tax
  • click Make Adjustments
  • Enter your net Schedule C income in field "Net Income Earned as a Notary Public"
