How can I restart my return to say that I've started a business?

[SharonD007]

You don’t have to start over to add your self-employed business income.  Follow the steps below:

1. Go to Wages & Income
2. Select Self-employment
3. TurboTax will guide you through adding your business.

Refer to the TurboTax article How do I report income from self-employment?  for more information.

Refer to  Reporting Self-Employment Business Income and Deductions for additional details.

You will have to upgrade to TurboTax Premier or Home & Business to add your business income.

If you still need to start over, you can clear your entire tax return and start over if you haven't paid. 

1. Login to TurboTax and select Continue
2. Select Tax Tools 
3. Select Clear & Start Over.

Refer to the TurboTax article How do I clear and start over?

You don’t need to go back to the initial questions.  You can just add you business on Schedule C.  I assume you need Schedule C for self employment income.

You can fill out Schedule C and enter 1099NEC, Cash or Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. All the Desktop programs have the same forms, so you can buy a lower version.  You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.
