To enter Schedule C income for a business:

  1. Type schedule c in Search,
  2. Click Jump to schedule c,
  3. If you already have a business, Edit.
  4. Click Add income for this work,
  5. Choose Other self-employed income. Continue.
  6. Type cash for Type of Income and 0 for Amount.

Having no income but expenses may raise a red flag. The IRS may consider your business to be a hobby if you do not show a profit during at least three of the last five tax years, including the current year (there are special rules for breeding, showing, training or racing horses).
