I thought that might be the issue, so I added our names to the business name as you suggested, deleted out the start up costs. I then added one start up cost of $250 as a test under my spouse "start up costs" category and it still automatically population under my "other misc expense" category. So then I removed the EIN from both of our accounts and repeated - the $250 still showed up in both. I deleted both of our self-employment entries entirely, then set-up mine again from scratch, and that same $250 is still showing up in "other misc expenses" and I had not entered anything and had not even entered a self-employed company for my spouse yet!
I don't know why it keeps doing this?! And I can't preview the Schedule C to see what is happening - but if I deleted all self-employment details out completely and started from scratch, it can't be from anything I entered since the $250 expense is just there... What I'm trying to do is very simple and straightforward, I just can't get past this duplication issue!
I appreciate your help, so please let me know if there is something else that I'm missing.
