Self employed

If you have freelance income, you essentially do own a business in the eyes of the IRS.  You are the business since you are doing freelance work.

 

Freelance or self-employed income is reported on Schedule C Business Income and Expenses.  

 

Use the following steps to get started:

 

  • On the top row of the TurboTax screen, click on Search 
  • This opens a box where you can type in “schedule c” 
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to schedule c
  • Click on the blue “Jump to schedule c” link 

 

Also, take a look at the following TurboTax help article for further information, in addition to the articles shared by DoninGA above:
