I paid quarterly gross receipts taxes on my business income where I put that in my tax return

I paid NM State CRS gross receipts taxes for 2016, where do I put that information in my tax return, or does gross receipts taxes not have anything to do with my NM state taxes.

The notes from the community and support refers to income tax for 2016.  the program is different and i cannot find where to put the gross receipts tax return information.  is that considered self-employment?

The taxes that you paid are listed as an expense in your jewelry business expense section.

In TurboTax Online, after you enter all of your income for your business, you will see the Expenses page

• Click on  Add expenses for this work
• Choose Less common on the next page 
• Click Show more at the bottom of the page until you see Taxes and Licenses
• You may have to click Show more several times until Taxes and licenses show up

This is considered self-employment and your information will be entered into a Schedule C for your business return.
