Question

We do all our tax returns in Turbo Tax & our 2018 returns are being audited. The schedule C is not there. Apparently it was never included. How can I complete this now?

Normally Turbo Tax guides us through the Schedule C. I have the full tax package from that year and it was completely missed.

If by full tax package you mean you have the TurboTax CD\Download version for tax year 2018, you'll have to amend your income tax return and add the Schedule C. Please see the instructions below:

  1. Open the TurboTax CD/Download software for the year you're amending
    • For example, you must amend your 2022 return in the 2022 version of TurboTax
  2. Under Need to File an Amended Return?, select Amend a Filed Return
    • The 2019 version of TurboTax may say Amend a return (make changes) after it was filed and accepted by the IRS instead
  3. Select Amend for the return you need to amend
  4. On the We’ll help you change (amend) your return screen, select Continue
  5. Select Yes, I’ve already filed my return
  6. Choose the option that best applies when asked Tell us a little more about your amend situation and Continue
  7. On the next screen, select Update next to the info you need to change
  8. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return
  9. Don’t forget to select Save As (or Duplicate on Mac) from the File menu when you save a copy of your amended return. This will preserve the tax return you originally filed
    • Give the file a different name from the original, like 2022_amended_tax_return_Smith.
