Log into your tax return.
Use the search box in the upper right hand corner.
Type in "Schedule C" in the box.
This will bring up the "Jump to Schedule C" link...click that link.
From here TurboTax will ask you some specific questions about your business.
You'll be led through a different screens asking you more questions regarding your business.
You'll also be taken to a screen to enter your income (this is where you can lump all your income together, or list the specific types...cash, check, or credit card income and put it in General Income). Once you've entered your income and clicked Done and/or Continue.
Turbo Tax will bring you to the screen for you to choose what expenses you would like to enter onto your tax return
