received as income in 2016 and enter them, along with your business expenses,
on your Schedule C in Turbo Tax. You can list them separately on one Schedule
C, or as a total on the same Schedule C. To do this in TurboTax, follow these
steps.
Log
into your tax return.
Use
the search box in the upper right hand corner.
Type
in "schedule c" in the
box.
This
will bring up the "Jump to schedule c"
link...click that link.
From
here TurboTax will ask you some specific questions about your business.
You'll
be led through a different screens asking you more questions regarding your
business.
You'll also be taken to a screen to enter your
income (this is where you can lump all your income together, or
list the specific types...cash, check, or credit card income and put it
in General Income). (see attached screenshots)
Once
you've entered your income and clicked Done
and/or Continue.
Turbo
Tax will bring you to the screen for you to choose what expenses you would like
to enter onto your tax return
