You will enter this income as cash in the self-employment area of TurboTax.

  • Login to TurboTax Self Employed online
  • Click Take me to my return or pick up where I left off
  • In the search box (located in the upper right hand corner) type Schedule C
  • Click the Jump to Schedule C link that appears in the search results
  • This will take you to the Self Employed section of TurboTax. Click Edit(next to an existing side business you already entered) or Add (to enter your side business)
  • Continue through your return until you get to the screen that asks the question - Let us know which form (1099-MISC, etc) or what type of income you had (cash, checks, etc). If you have more than one, we’ll enter them one at a time.
  • Choose Additional income and other income. Includes 1099-K, cash, checks, and other income. Click Continue
  • Enter your extra income on the next screen.
