I'm trying to file my taxes for 2017. I made income through 2 separate businesses with separate EIN. How do I report this through TurboTax?

    For each business you report your income and expenses on a separate Schedule C.  This assumes that you are a sole proprietor or single member LLC that has not incorporated so your businesses are considered disregarded entities by the IRS.  The Schedule C's are part of and included with your personal tax return Form 1040.

     

    You have to use the TurboTax desktop editions for the 2017 tax return.  It is recommended that you use the Home & Business edition, but it is not required as all the desktop editions include the same forms, schedules and worksheets.

     

    Go to this TurboTax website for the 2017 desktop editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/2017

    If your LLC has incorporated as an S Corp or is a Partnership or multi-member LLC then you will need to use the TurboTax Business Edition.  The Business Edition can only be installed on a Windows based personal computer, not on a Mac or online.  The Business Edition cannot complete a personal tax return, Form 1040.
