Hi all, I'm trying to input expenses from self-employment, but the website won't allow me to input manually. It just says 'not started', but has no option to 'begin'.

This seems to be a website issue - how am I able to input manually? I clicked the button but it just returns me to the main page and lists the expenses as 'not started', but there is no button to 'begin'!

If you are using TurboTax Online, you will need to upgrade to the Premium Edition to enter expenses on Schedule C.   You can click on Not Started to begin entering your expenses.   If you have not set up your business profile (Schedule C), you will need to do that first. 

 

Where do I enter Schedule C?

 

What self-employed expenses can I deduct?  

 

Where do I enter my self-employment business expenses, like supplies and  vehicle mileage?  this link has instructions to manually enter your SE expenses.
