How do enter self employment income?

In the Self-Employed Turbo Tax with a Federal Taxes tab at the top

  • Click on the Federal Taxes tab
  • Click on Income and Expenses
  • You may see a prompt for Self-Employment, but if not
  • Click on Check for More Income and See All Income
  • Scroll down to the Self-Employment section with the blue person icon
  • Click on Show More
  • And Start or Revisit
  • Turbo Tax will ask questions about your self-employment and there are blue buttons for Add income for this work for 1099s and cash income and Add Expenses for this work.  On the Expenses page, there is a blue triangle next to Less common expenses, that opens up additional options such as professional fees and commissions.

 In the Self-Employed Turbo Tax with a Business tab at the top

  • Click on the Business tab
  • Then Continue and I'll choose what to work on
  • Update your Profit or Loss from a Business
