I see nowhere to enter the cost of goods sold for the online version for self employed. A live chat person told me to go back and delete SCH C and try again. Same problem

Cost of good sold is a calculated field.  You must enter your starting inventory, your purchases and cost, and your ending inventory to calculate cost of goods sold.  

Please see the instructions below for adding your inventory:

• On the Tax Timeline, select "Business".
• Click continue then select "I'll choose what I work on".
• Click update/start next to "Business Income and Expenses".
• Select "Edit" next to your business name (or add your business information here if you haven't already).
• Scroll down to "Inventory / Cost of Goods Sold" and click "Start" to begin entering your inventory.
