30 years in private practice and I have never entered anything but the total on the Sch C and never ever got an IRS notice for the missing entries and none of the hundreds of other preparers in the big box store I started with had problems either. In fact we never taught this requirement in the 15 years I took and taught the class and if this was an IRS requirement I am sure the company would have had that in the text book.
In fact this is not written anywhere in the IRS filing requirements. All they get when you efile is the amounts on the forms (check the transcript for confirmation) and NOTHING from the TT worksheets ... those are for your use only. When you enter the individual forms in the program it is acting like an adding machine and just records your entries so that YOU can compare what you entered against the forms you have in your hands.
