  • Go to Federal > Income & Expenses
  • Scroll down to See all income. In the Self-employment section, click Start next to Income & Expenses
  • Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
  • Continue through the interview to enter your business information.
  • When you get to the Let's Review Your Work Info screen, make sure everything is correct and then click Looks Good
  • On the Let's get income for work screen, select the type of income you want to enter and click Continue.
  • Proceed through the rest of the interview to enter your income

To enter your spouse's W-2 income in TurboTax Self-employed:
