I have been self-employed for several years. I was not self-employed last year (2017) and do not need to use the self-employed tax return. How can I change this?

How do I change the type of turbotax form from self-employed to retired? I no longer do extra work considered self-employment. Help??

If you no longer have need for a schedule C, indicate that you stopped the business in 2017 in the General Info section of your business. This will remove the schedule C and any related schedules/worksheets going forward.

If you had assets for depreciation (vehicles, equipment, etc), you will need to visit the Asset/Depreciation section of your business to 'dispose' of them and stop the depreciation.

If you have only the schedule C to remove, you can also delete the form from your list. Select Tax Tools, Tools, Delete a form. Scroll list for the schedule C to remove.
