  2. On the Let’s gather your business info screen, in the Business Income and Expenses section, click the Start/Update button.  
  3. If you have already started adding information about your business, you will see the Here's the business info we have so far screen.  Click on the Edit box next to the business. 
  4. If you haven't already started adding business information, continue through the screens to enter the needed information.
  5. You will now be on the Your [XX] Business screen.  In the Business Income section, click on the Start/Update box.  
  6. On the next screen, Business Income, click on the Start/Update box next to the type of income you wish to report.   Click Continue when finished with income.
