I want to enter a contribution for self employed SIMPLE IRA. It goes into line 15 of Schedule 1. How do I enter it into the TurboTax software?

[AnnetteB6 · Accepted solution]

To go to the section of the tax return to enter information about your self-employed SIMPLE IRA 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.
