Premier Software for 1099

Amanisamer — Sat, 09 Jan 2021 03:41:23 GMT

I get a W2 from my main job. I also worked part-time with Doordash where i will receive a 1099. I purchased the Turbotax Premier software. Will I be able to include the Doordash 1099 income and expenses on the premier software?

Ok ... if you use the ONLINE version you will need the SELF EMPLOYED version to handle the Sch C with expenses ... https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/

If you use the DOWNLOADED/CD version then you can use ANY version ... if you don't need to file a state return choose Basic and if you do need a state then Deluxe. https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

FYI … if you don’t buy the Deluxe program from TT directly then be aware that it is sold with AND without the state program … so read the ad carefully if you need a state.

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

Yes. In fact you can use any Desktop program even Basic. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions. In the Online web version you would need the Self Employed version.

To report your self employment income you will fill out schedule C in your personal 1040 tax return and pay SE self employment Tax. You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version. How to enter self employment income

For the future, you should use a program like Quicken or QuickBooks to track your income and expenses. There is a QuickBooks Self Employment bundle you can check out which includes one Turbo Tax Online Self Employed return....

You need to report all your income even if you don't get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc. You use your own records. You are considered self employed and have to fill out a schedule C for business income. You use your own name, address and ssn or business name and EIN if you have one. You should say you use the Cash Accounting Method and all income is At Risk.

After it asks if you received any 1099Misc or 1099NEC it will ask if you had any income not reported on a 1099Misc. You should be keeping your own records. Just go through the interview and answer the questions. Then you will enter your expenses.

Self Employment tax (Scheduled SE) is automatically generated if a person has $400 or more of net profit from self-employment. You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400. The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare. So you get social security credit for it when you retire.

The SE tax is already included in your tax due or reduced your refund. It is on the 1040 Schedule 2 line 4 which goes to 1040 line 15. The SE tax is in addition to your regular income tax on the net profit. You do get to take off the 50% ER portion of the SE tax as an adjustment on 1040 Schedule 1 line 14 which flows to 1040 line 8a. Turbo Tax automatically calculates the SE Tax and Adjustment.
