Earned income from self employment

[s44haddad]

Hi, I have a w-2 and my wife has a home business. I dont have a way of entering in her profit from her business to show that she earned/had a job so I can get a child care expense credit. Is there a way I can do this?

All business income is entered under the Business tab in the Business Income & Expenses (SCH C) section.

Thanks for responding. It has the info there. But on our personal section there doesnt seem to be a section for my wife to list anything for income other than a w-2, which then doesnt allow us to do the child care dependent credit.

Did she get a 1099Misc for her income?  If she didn't get a 1099 enter it as cash income.

To enter cash income without a 1099Misc into the Online Self Employed version,   if you see a Business tab at the top, after Personal Info, follow the instructions to enter the cash as General Income.  If you do not see a Business tab, choose the second topic of Additional Income underneath the 1099-Misc income topic
