Where do I enter gross receipts for a self employed business?

[AnthonyC · Accepted solution]

You can enter your self-employed income/expenses for Schedule C by following the instructions below -

• Log into your account and click Take Me To My Return (you must click this before searching if you are not already in your account)
• Type “Schedule C" in the search box, top right of your screen, then click the magnifying glass
• Click the "jump to schedule c" link in the search results.
• You will arrive at the Your Business summary page where you can add/edit a business
• If you have not set up your business profile, the program will ask you a series of basic questions to establish your profile 
• Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your business income and expenses
• For entering income, there will be two main sections:  one specifically for income reported on a Form 1099-MISC and one for all other additional income (including cash, checks, or income reported on a Form 1099-K)
• If you have income reported on a Form 1099-MISC, then enter it under that section
• If you don't have a Form 1099-MISC, then this second option for "all other additional income" is where you will enter your gross receipts.  See screenshot below.
• After entering your income, follow the prompts to enter any expenses
