You must have another schedule C in your program. Maybe you entered a form 1099-M? You need to link the W-2 statutory employee income to a separate schedule C.
I would try deleting the W-2 entry first.
If you don't have any small business income, see if you can find the small business entry the program created for your statutory business and delete it. You can delete a schedule C by following these instructions:
1. Find the Tax Tools option on your left menu bar and click on it
2. Click on Tools
3. Find Delete a Form and click on it
4. Look for schedule C in the list of forms and click on the option to delete it
Then, once you have the Schedule C out of your program, put the W-2 entry back in. It should create a schedule C and allow you to enter the business expenses on it.
