Is the form the same for self employed as for W2 people?

[capechon-gmail-c]

Turbotax keeps referring to W2, if you have a job.. but I'm self employed.. do I continue with this, or is there a different thing I"m supposed to fill out?

If you are self-employed you do not have a W-2.   W-2's are issued by employers.

Self-employed people do not have the same form as employees receive. Employees receive a W-2 from their employer to report their income.

Self-employed people have a few forms that they would use to enter their income into TurboTax.  You could receive a 1099-NEC if you do work for someone as a nonemployee. A 1099-MISC could be another way to report your income. If you take credit cards as payment, this would be reported on a 1099-K. You could be on a cash basis and receive checks or cash for your self-employment.

All of your income and expenses are entered in Schedule C.  Here is a TurboTax link to help you get started.
