Business income not showing

Hello

I have been using TurboTax for years. Recently I started using the online self employed version. I'm having trouble seeing my business income and expenses. I have filled them out and checked them 4 times but it still says zero and is not on my return . 

Any ideas how to see it on my tax return?

The income summary page doesn't always display the net income from your self-employed business. If you've entered the information and it's still there when you edit the business, you should be fine.

 

You can check to be sure Schedule C is included in the forms of your return. Follow these steps to see all the forms (but don't actually delete anything).

  1. Login to TurboTax and click on Continue your return to get into the prep section.
  2. Click on Tax Tools in the left column.
  3. Click on Tools.
  4. In the list at the bottom, click on Delete a form. 
  5. Scroll down and confirm there is a Schedule C and a Schedule C Wks form in the list.

Your other option is to access a PDF of your return per this article: Can I print a copy of my TurboTax Online return before I file it?

I don't have any of the menus you are taking about. The online version does not have them. The refund is not reflected properly and the amounts are not on the t1. 

I can see all the roads for expenses but the income is zero on the last summary page. 

How do I see the numbers on the return?

You can't see your business Schedule C in the online version of TurboTax until you pay for your return in TurboTax. You can see the Form 1040 and schedules 1 to 3 before you pay for the program as follows:

 

To view your form 1040 and schedule 1 to 3:

 

  1. Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online while working in your program
  2. Choose Tools
  3. Choose View Tax Summary
  4. See the Preview my 1040 option in the left menu bar and click on it
  5. Choose the Back option in the left menu bar when you are done 

 

You net business income will appear on line 3 of Schedule 1.
