Taxes 2017

[happyalwze]

I am trying to file my 2017 taxes.  I work as a Dental hygienist.  During 2017 I worked for two employers.  One unfortunately gave me a 1099, because i worked for them as am independent contractor.  The automobile I used to travel back and forth to that job I traded-in at the end of December that year.  How do I report that on my return?

Are you using the 2017 Desktop program on your computer?  Which version?

That is self employment income and you need to fill out schedule C for it.  

Enter it under…..

Federal Taxes Tab (or Business for Home & Business)

Wages & Income

Choose Jump to Full List -or I'll choose what I work on

Then scroll way down to Business Items

Business Income and Expenses - Click the Start or Update button

yes desktop. version 3.0.80.  I understand filling Schedule C.  my confusion is how to fill out the amount of trade in, the original cost of trade in and how to figure out what AMT is.
