Self employed

How did you initially enter your income? Did you go to Schedule C and enter it as 1099-NEC or cash? Did you indicate that you had a 1099-NEC but accidentally put it on the cash line?

 

If any information you initially entered into the program does not agree with what you actually did, you will get an error.

 

If you are wanting to find the section within TurboTax where you either enter or have entered your self-employment income and expenses which will be reported on Schedule C of your tax return, do the following steps:

 

 

  1. After signing into TurboTax, select "Take Me to My Return"
  2. Type "Schedule C" in the search field at the top right hand of the screen.
  3. Select "Jump To Schedule C" and you will be brought to the section of TurboTax where you can enter or have entered your business income and expense information.
