The extension is form 4868. It should be part of your tax return. In addition, if you made a payment by April 15th online, you would have marked it as part of your extension. Check your records for payments as well. The payment counts as an extension request if you don't have the 4868 and properly marked the payment.

I went through the sch C and was able to enter income under the NEC, MISC, K and general income. Something must be wrong with the version you are using. If you are using desktop, try installing updates. If you are using the online version:  Log out of your return and try one or more of the following: Don't use Internet Explorer. Clear cache and cookies, Sign in using a different browser. Sign in using a different device. Log back into your return.

The "previous" screen had two radio button choices, and I chose the lower one which results as pictured. However, after the most recent update, the red message is now GONE.  The screen accepted the entries this time without change and allowed me to continue.   Please consider this thread closed.   Thanks for your answer anyway. The software will undoubtedly improve as more of us ferret out more features.

Where did you buy the Code?  And did you buy the code for the Desktop program or the Online version?  Some  stores are selling a code to use the Online browser version.   And if you are on Windows, do you have Windows 10 or 11?  You need Windows 11 this year.     Authorized Sellers https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-product-orders/obtain-authentic-turbotax-programs/L1yYfitCw_US_en_US?uid=lv4rnzmq  

You would likely need to report your share of company income or loss if you were part owner of a business. The only exception might be if you were a shareholder in a "C" or regular corporation. Otherwise, you would likely be a partner in a partnership or a shareholder in an "S" corporation. In either one of those situations, you should receive a Schedule K-1 from the business reporting your share of the company's income, loss and/or other pertinent tax information. You would use that form to make the required entries on your personal tax return.

Technically you should report the research study activity separately as it appears to not be related to the speaking and writing activities. It should not matter overall though, as the net income from both activities will be combined to determine the income to be taxed, even if either one or both of them reports a loss.    

The sale of a personal residence is often not taxable, if you lived in the home 2 out 5 years and have less than $250,000 in capital gains per person. If you do not meet the rules or had more capital gains, it should be showing the income on Sch D. There are exceptions for special circumstances as well such as military, health issues, etc that allow a proration. Form 8949 is active and working and carries to capital gains on sch D. I am glad you got through the rental. We are glad to help!

@sallydolan60  That doesn't sound like legitimate TurboTax Support.   TurboTax does not charge a fee to help callers like that.  Did you give them your credit card number or even worse, a debit card number?    Here's a way to reach legitimate TurboTax Support so you can discuss it with them: https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/contact/ When you talk to them, tell them about the suspicious phone or site and your security concerns.

You need to choose "Other (not classified)" as the category and type in "Overtime" in the description box. On a later screen you will see "Let's check for uncommon situations" where you need to check the "Overtime" box. You will then be asked to enter your overtime compensation and answer a few questions.
