Is there a shortcut to enter self employment questions. Is there a shortcut for entering mileage in self-employment section? TurboTax is asking dozens of questions.

I literally have only 2 lines items of expenses to add but Turbotax is doing pages and pages of questions that are irrevant. No, I don't want to deduct my vehicle, etc.

No, there is not a shortcut to entering your business expenses.  TurboTax asks all the questions so that the tax forms are filled out accurately for your situation and to evaluate whether you meet certain qualifications to claim deductions.  

 

After you have entered your information, coming back to it if you need to make a change should be more straightforward.
