I am asked a series of questions and then the system tells me I am done without advancing to the expense section. What is going on?
In order to enter your business expenses, you'll need to upgrade to TurboTax Home & Business. This has been the case for a number of years.
Please see this chart for a comparison between the Desktop versions of TurboTax:
