For
self-employment, if you didn't receive a 1099-MISC for that income, it will be
entered into the Business area of TurboTax in the Business
Income section, then General Income (skip past the
1099-MISC area).
How to get to that area
:
While inside the software and
working on your return, type Schedule C in the Search at the top
of the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there). There will be a
popup that says Jump to Schedule C. Select that to get to the
general area.
When you set up your business, you can use your own name,
address, and social security number (if you don't have a business name
or EIN). Then,
when done with the Business Profile:
- go to Business Income and
Expenses
- select Edit next
to your business (if it is there)
- scroll to Business
Income
- on
the next screen, you will see a place to enter a Form 1099-MISC (since you didn’t
receive one, you can Skip past that)
- then, on the next screen, you
will see General Income (for income received that is not on a 1099-MISC
form)
- enter a description for the income (ex. Services,
or Consulting, Customer Sales) and
the amount
