Why As a full time student in PA, the state return is asking questions for Schedule C - I don't own a business

    What type of income did you have? 

     

    Did you have self-employment income or income from a 1099-NEC?  If so, this would be why it is asking for the Schedule C.  You do not have to own a business to file a schedule C.  You can work for someone that pays you for something like mowing the grass or babysitting.  Then you would need to include that as self-employment income.   

     

    Being a student does not exclude you from being self-employed.
