Business & farm

Well, I guess it is time to call an accountant.  I need VERY FAST answers.   I need to respond to Medi-Cal with my "wage" - the catch 22 is that I need to do my taxes to know what my "wage" is.   Otherwise I'll unfairly report my wage as being too high.  

I purchased TurboTax this morning and got through most of the deductions

HOWEVER

I still need to put about $8000 spent on software into the 179 form (asset area of TurboTax) - BUT - I can't due that for about a month  -  TurboTax says they expect forms on 1/29/2020 - which is not in a few days (when I need to inform Medi-Cal of my so called wage).   Oy vey!

Since I'm only making an estimate - how would I calculate this on my own?

Yeah, I know - pay an accountant.      Ouch.
