Independent Contractor Sch C efile

[ishroblesjr]

When I got to the end of don't my taxes. Turbo Tax online efile said that I cannot efile. I guess I'm doing a schedule C with write offs. My question is do I print the forms to mail in and send all my receipts and documents of write offs? I have milage expenses and other items such as office supplies. If I send in all my write offs where does it go? To state or federal?

You just print off and send in all the tax forms to their respective places (state and federal). All the supporting documentation you have (receipts and whatnot) stays with you. You file it away and if the IRS comes knocking (aka you get audited), they'll ask for that supporting documentation to prove the claims that you wrote on the forms were legitimate. You should hold 3 years worth of receipts because it usually takes the IRS two years to get around to auditing you, if they ever do at all.

You should be able to efile with a schedule C. What was the reason given for not being able to efile?
