Yes, if you are self-employed, you can enter your gross income and deduct expenses in Schedule C

To Enter Schedule C, in the Self-Employed TurboTax Online version:

  • Click on the Federal Taxes tab
  • Click on Income and Expenses
  • You may see a prompt for Self-Employment, but if not
  • Click on Check for More Income and See All Income
  • Scroll down to the Self-Employment section with the blue person icon
  • Click on Show More
  • And Start or Revisit 
  • Turbo Tax will ask questions about your self-employment and there are blue buttons for Add income for this work for 1099s and cash income and Add Expenses for this work.  Follow the onscreen instructions.
