When you have a loss on a Schedule C, the loss isn't deductible unless you have checked a box on the form to indicate that your investment is at risk.  Go back through the questions for your business and make sure you have checked the box, or answered the question yes, to indicate that All Investment is at Risk.  Once checked, your loss will then flow to your Form 1040 and offset other income.
