How do I enter my income from 2017? It keeps plugging in what I earned last year which is incorrect!

In the Income & Expenses section (the Income Reported on Your 2016 Return page), TurboTax asks if any of your previous income still applies. In order to get to this screen

  • Login to your TurboTax Self Employed online account
  • Click Take me to my return or pick up where I left off
  • Click the Income & Expenses tab.
  • You should now see the Income Report on Your 2016 Return screen (as shown in the attached screenshot). Click NO next to the income that you no longer have.
  • Click Continue; The next screen may give you already loaded income information. Click review next to the income you need to enter or change (ie W2, self-employment/Schedule C).
  • In the review Screen, you can click the trash can icon next to the existing income information you no longer need.
  • Click Add W2 (for job income) or Add another line of work (for self employment) to enter new income information.

Exactly where?  It does transfer from last year but just to compare the amounts.
