After you file

Yes, I agree.  This is something that there is always a line for on the form itself; the line number may vary from year to year, but the tax form always has a place for it (I've seen it for years, but this is the first year it applies to my situation).  However, I have searched multiple times in TurboTax and tried every trick I can to review step-by-step, by line item, and guided, and still cannot figure out where to enter it in the TurboTax software.

NOL doesn't apply here (this is NOT a "net operating loss," but an "operating expenses" carryover from one previous year to the next.  I can't find a place to enter this in the TT software anywhere in the Home Office section OR Sch C section. 


UPDATE: On the main page for creating a Sch C, I did find an "Uncommon situations" section which specifically says it's for "Carryovers, limitations, at risk information, etc."  However, none of the 5 scenarios listed there are specifically for "Carryover of prior year operating expenses," and if you click "None of the above," you don't get another way to add that in (at least none that I can find).
