Self-employment income and the related expenses are reported on Schedule C. We'll automatically complete Schedule C or C-EZ when you set up your self-employment work in TurboTax or when you enter what the IRS considers self-employment income (it’s often reported on a 1099-MISC). You do not have to have received a 1099-MISC to report your income or expenses.
To set up your business:
- Open or continue your return.
- Search for schedule c and select the Jump to link in the search results.
- Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? and follow the instructions.
- If you've already entered self-employment work and need to enter more, select Add another line of work.
If you need Schedule C to report a 1099-MISC, search for 1099-misc and select the Jump to link. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC? and follow these directions. We'll ask questions to find out if the income needs to go on Schedule C or C-EZ and add the right schedule to your return (if needed).
