Business & farm

Yes, but shouldn't business expenses on my schedule C reduce my P/L?   I always thought that's what schedule C was for.  To show the costs of doing business.

 

I did a test. Right now, turbo is showing a net PROFIT of $530.  So I added $1000 in costs to my schedule C.  This should take me from a net PROFIT to a net loss.  But nope!  It just reduces my home office deduction in keeps my net PROFIT at exactly $530.   Makes ZERO sense.
