The IRS requires that all income be reported.  You will report your income and expenses related to generating your income on Schedule C Profit or Loss From Business.  You can complete a Schedule C using TurboTax Deluxe. 

  • To access Schedule C enter schedule c in the search box.
  • Then select Jump to schedule C in the results window.
  • Follow the prompts to enter your Schedule C information.
