    Bank deposits might be helpful. As a business owner you have the responsibility to keep records of your income.

    Reconstruct your gross sales from other records as best as possible.  The IRS will not have access to more accurate information.

     

    In TurboTax Online, Self-employment income and expenses may be reported under Federal and Wages & Income.

     

    You may also report hobby income but hobby expense is not allowed to be reported.  Follow these steps.

     

    • Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Home.
    • Click on the down arrow to the right of Review.
    • Click on the blue band labeled Review.
    • Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
    • Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
    • Scroll down to Less Common Income and click on the dropdown menu.
    • To the right of Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, click the Start / Revisit button.
    • To the right of Hobby income and expenses, click the Start / Revisit button.

    The income entry will be reported:

     

    • on line 8j of Schedule 1 of the Federal 1040 tax return, and 
    • on line 8 of the Federal 1040 tax return.
