Self employed income

[Al59]

I'm self employed. Of a customer pays me 10,000$ to do a concrete driveway do I claim all of the money or just what is left after purchasing concrete. The concrete stays on their property so I should deduct that from my income, right?

You will complete a Schedule C to enter your gross income and expenses. You enter the entire amount of the gross income in Part I and you enter the expenses in Part II or Part III. The cement and other materials used to prepare the driveway would probably be entered in Part III for Cost of Goods Sold as Materials and Supplies.  

I don't see what version of TurboTax you are using but you will need Self Employed to enter this information using the online product or any of the CD/download products.

Your taxable business income is determined by the program, by deducting your business expenses from your business income.
