Schedule C inventory section

SerenityMoonPinCo — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 10:02:54 GMT

So this is my first year doing taxes for my small business and on the Schedule C inventory section I keep adding all of the numbers and info that I need to, but once I finish the section it keeps saying “Not Started” instead of showing the total number like the other sections do. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I have made sure that the entire Inventory section is completely filled out every time and I even tried refreshing the page and logging out, but the “Not Started” thing won’t go away.

Which version of TurboTax are you using TurboTax Online or TurboTax CD/Download?

Delete your original inventory input. That's always the best way to go first.

Then, after you selected Inventory to report in the Less Common Expenses section, you hit continue continue till you hit this screen

Then finally, here. It worked for me. Good luck!
