Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I'm using TT Self-employed. Where is the option to enter contributions to a SEP. Previously, that was a separate category in TT, and you could enter PS and employee?

To go to the section of the tax return to enter information about your SEP contribution, use these steps:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “self-employed retirement” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to self-employed retirement
  • Click on the blue “Jump to self-employed retirement” link and enter your information

 

Be sure that you are actually in the tax return itself before you enter the search term 'self-employed retirement'.  If you are not inside the return, the search does not work as expected.  

 

Another way to get to the self-employed retirement section is to go to the Income & Expenses section of your return.  Then scroll to the Other Business Situations section.  Click Start beside Self-Employed Retirement Plans.

thank you, "other business situations" is not an option for me, but the search technique worked perfectly!
