Once you add your self-employment income and expenses in TurboTax, we'll generate a Schedule C.

Here's how to add your self-employment income:

  • Open or continue your return.

  • Navigate to the Schedule C section:

    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to Schedule C.

    • TurboTax Desktop: Search for schedule c and select the Jump to link.

  • Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?

    • If you've already entered self-employment work and need to enter more, select Add another line of work.

  • Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your Schedule C.

If you need Schedule C to report a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC, search for 1099-NEC or 1099-misc, then select the Jump to link. We'll ask questions about your 1099 income and generate Schedule C if your situation calls for it.
