I have tried to get these taxes done for 2 days straight, I've added, deleted, signed out used apple products, used a normal desktop. I even found a 2021 work around and it still isn't working. It says " double click" to link a schedule C, it never gave me the option to fill one out and I cannot put anything in the box even after deleting and filling it out 5 times. signing out...allllll of it. I have a 1099-MISC for Commercial fishing. I am a recipient and not the owner of the boat the only space filled out is box 5 fishing boat proceeds. Helppppppp

Which TurboTax program are you using and is it Online or Desktop?
Did you enter the 1099-MISC under
Personal Income
Wages & Income
1099-MISC and Other Common Income
Income from Form 1099-MISC
or directly on your Schedule C?
Schedule c won't even pop up for me, I clicked form 1099-misc as income as a side job. We are using online version. Apparently this is an ongoing problem, I searched in help and it says this was a bug 2 months ago but TurboTax online won't let me read it because it's been "fixed"
Did you use TurboTax last year and did you have a schedule C last year?
Did the program pull over the Schedule C?
Does TurboTax give you a screen like this after entering the 1099-MISC?
If yes, is your fishing business (Schedule C) listed?
Can you see Schedule C in your tax return?
HERE is how to view 1040

Yes we have used turbo tax for years and I don't believe that it made us do this last year, if it did, the "double click to link schedule c" worked. No I don't believe I got that page. It keeps going back to a page that says "let's take care of these details now
your complete check to do list:
answered to review ensures your final number is right.
I click it and then it goes to check this entry:
and it's the gray tan colored 1099-MISC with only box 5 that says Fishinf boat proceeds and then the amount that matches the 1099-MISC
Then it says this below it " REQUIRED: Double click to select the schedule c on which to report this income:
I can type whatever I want in the box and it won't work. I double click it and it doesn't pull up anything.
I've done this and also used and incognito tab. Used my phone, used a MACbook, used and iPad, and used a Samsung desktop computer. It doesn't matter the device or cookies, cache, incognito, or history.
I printed this year's tax returns to (unfortunately) skip the error message that it won't allow me to fix. I've compared to last years to see if I was missing a box and the only difference is using my truck for the company for business travel. Everything else is the same and all boxes are the same, aside from monetary value. Should I just send them by mail since it won't let me move on?
If you have fully reviewed the printed return and found no obvious errors, you should be fine to file by mail. If the IRS has any questions, you'll receive a letter asking for more information.
