How do I add expenses

What type of 1099 forms?

 

If you have expenses associated with 1099's for self-employment, you will enter the expenses after you enter your income.  To enter your self-employment income select the following:

  1. Federal
  2. Income and Expenses
  3. Show More next to Self-Employment
  4. Start next to Self-Employment
  5. Yes, to you have any self-employment income or expenses
  6. Enter the type of self-employment work you do and you can select that you use your name for your business
  7. Click through a few more screens and you will get to a screen that says "Your XX info"
  8. Click Looks good
  9. Then you will come to a screen that says Let's enter the income for your business.  It will give you the option of 1099-NEC or Other self-employed income including the 1099K , cash and checks.  Here is where you will enter the money you receive.
  10. If you do not select one, it will not let you enter your income
  11. Enter your self-employment income on the next screen
  12. Continue and on the next screen click add expenses

 

If you have expenses associated with the sale of a property, you would enter that as the cost basis.

How do I add expenses

I am having the same issue. The system doesn’t allow you to add expenses. It ask if you would like to add expenses, I select yes then it prompts you to upgrade. At that point, the only options listed are upgrade or this doesn’t apply to me. I select it doesn’t apply then it prompts you to upgrade or not upgrade. I select not upgrade. Then it states the action is complete and moves to add another 1099 or move on. I attempted to edit it but it does the does the same exact thing.

Sorry, If you need to enter  Business or self employed expenses you have to upgrade to Premium.  You can only enter income into Deluxe.
