Retirement tax questions

Ok, thanks. I was referring to an earlier response to another comment from you:

 

"Step 3:  get the grand total of expenses from schedule c.  Report this number as a negative number on the 1099 income.  Meaning create a new line item for short term gains as a negative number (aka a loss) to round off expenses from schedule c.  Do the same for home office expenses.  Meaning there should be two negative short term gains/losses reported on the capital gains worksheet to ‘even’ out the expenses.  If that makes sense .  It helps to make notes of this if you are sending in your tax return to explain it.  But that is not necessary.  "

 

I could not figure out how I add more lines in Schedule D. If there is a sample you can share (mock statement or screen) I can work from there. 

 

Thanks
