When you need to create a statement attachment for "Other Income" or other lines on your business tax return using TurboTax Business, follow these steps:
Steps to Create a Statement Attachment:
Access Your TurboTax Business Return:
- Log in to your TurboTax Business account and open your tax return.
Navigate to the Income Section:
- Go to the section where you entered your "Other Income" information. This is usually found in the Income section of your tax return.
Add or Edit Other Income:
- If you are entering "Other Income" for the first time, you will find an option to add new income. If you have already entered it, look for the option to edit that entry.
Create a Statement:
- TurboTax allows you to add additional information for specific lines. Look for a button or link that says “Add Statement” or “Attach a Statement” near the section where you entered your "Other Income."
Enter Your Statement Details:
- You will typically be able to enter a description of the income and any other relevant details. Write a clear and concise explanation of the income source, amounts, and any other necessary information.
Review and Save:
- Make sure to review what you’ve entered. Save your changes to ensure that the statement is attached to your tax return.
Print or Review the Complete Return:
- After completing your return, you can choose to print it, or review it to ensure that your statement is included properly.
Filing:
- When you file your return (either electronically or by mail), ensure that the statement is included as part of the return if required.
Important Tips:
- Be Specific: Provide enough detail in your statement so that the IRS understands the nature of the income being reported.
- Consult Instructions: If you’re unsure about what to include in your statement, refer to the IRS instructions for the specific form you are filing.
- Use Help Resources: TurboTax often has help resources within the software that may provide guidance for entering specific types of income.
