I am self-employed, used to itemize and file schedules C. if I take the standard deduction this year since it is is much high for this year, can I still file schedule C?

[Texas Roger · Accepted solution]

Yes Schedule C income and expenses are totally separate from whether you itemized deductions or take the standard deduction. Any expenses associated with your self employment income are enter on the Schedule C and not on Schedule A for itemized deductions.
