Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I had expenses in 2017 for a business I'm starting on Etsy. I haven't listed any product yet, just been making product. Does this count as a business yet?

If you began your business in 2017 and it is operating, you can report start up costs even if you have no income yet. To begin in you open return, type 'schedule C' in the search box, then select the 'jump to' link. 

See TurboTaxMinhT's answer below regarding start up costs.
