Though I deleted the entries, TurboTax wants the details for them. How do I get rid of these Schedule C items I deleted?
You can remove the forms completely from the program by following these steps:
In TurboTax online version:
Generally, most taxpayers who receive a Form1099-NEC are considered as self employed by the IRS and required to pay self-employment tax. You will need to file a Schedule C reporting both income and any related expenses. If this form does not apply to you this year, you do not need to report it.
Thank you. This is helpful, and I did no freelance work in 2020, but it seems to be an error in TurboTax in general as why should I need to manually go into forms to remove items when I removed them through the guided app section? It caused a good amount of confusion and frustration using TurboTax this year.
