W2-statutory employee income + 1099-NEC income in Sched. C

[Gliu]

I enter my W2-statutory employee income in Sched. C as per one post (board-id 209) which refers to a specific screen "Any related Business Expenses?", to answer YES. 

I do not see this screen pop up after entering my W2-statutory employee income.

The expenses can be entered directly on the Schedule C as though you are self employed.

• What is a Statutory Employee?

To begin your expense entry associated with your statutory wages use the following steps.

1. TurboTax Online or TurboTax Desktop: Search > Type Schedule C > click the Jump to... link
2. Select Edit beside  your Self Employment > Select Add expenses for this work > Scroll through the expenses and select all the ones you need
3. Continue through the pages if you don't see what you need on the first page (2,3,4,5, etc). 
4. Place a check in the box beside each one > Continue
5. On the screen Here's your ___ info select Edit beside each expense you need to enter the amount 
6. Continue until you are finished

I get the folllowing error message:

"W2 Statutory cannot be reported on the same Schedule C as other business income. Either remove any amount entered for statutory employee income or unlink the W-2 worksheet from this copy of Schedule C and link it to a different Schedule C"

How do I unlink the W-2 worksheet fromo this copy of Schedule C and how to link it to a different Schedule C?

The following steps should help make this easier to enter and follow, as well as the ability to complete and file your return.

When you reach the screen 'Tell us more about G's statutory employment' be sure to select the most closely aligned employment.

Based on whatever I select the next screen will be 'Create a Schedule C to add your income' 

Continue until you reach the Income screen, then select Self employment and you will see your business already created. 

Edit beside the statutory income to add expenses, etc.

If necessary, delete your W-2 and be sure to select the necessary fields to complete your return (Delete, close return, reopen to enter your W-2 again.
