Self employed

Yes, you can report the income of your single member LLC on schedule C of your personal return and you do use the self-employment income and expenses options in TurboTax.

 

You can use QuickBooks Self Employed to import your tax information in TurboTax Self-Employed. Click on the link in the previous sentence for instructions on how to do that.

 

You need to report the Form 1099-NEC on your tax return so that the IRS can match your entry to the copy of that form that they received. It is common for self-employed individuals to receive more money from sales that the total of the amount reported on forms 1099-NEC, so the IRS makes you itemize the 1099 form on your return to make sure you reported everything. You will just need to reduce the income reported in QuickBooks by the amount reported on the Form 1099-NEC so that you don't overstate your income.

 

When you enter the Self-Employed section in TurboTax, you will see on the screen that says Your (name of business) Business an option for Business Income. Start or Update that section and you will see a screen that says Business Income and you will choose the option that says 1099-NEC Income to enter your 1099 form.

 

 

Schedule C will be populated based on the entries you make in the self-employment section in TurboTax, but the form won't appear in TurboTax online until you pay for the program at which time you can see all of the forms before you file the return.
