TT 2018 Home and Business is not walking me through my Schedule C - what is wrong?

I'm using TT Home and Business 2018 (I'm a long-time TT user) but it isn't walking me through my Schedule C or Business Expenses automatically. It asked me about my home office under personal expenses... what is wrong?? It is possible I didn't "register my business" because the "Profit and expenses" prompt is not appearing when I click on the Business tab, but I can't seem to check this or do it. Please help. Very frustrated at this point.

Do you have the self-Employed version? The home screen should look like the one in the below screenshot.

Wow! No, I don't! That is crazy, there is a different version other than Home & Business... I did not know this! I did finally muddle my way into an automated Q&A for small businesses... don't know why Home & Business would be different from Self-employed... Thank You!!

You can enter your Schedule C this way:

1. Click Federal on the left-hand side menu.

2. Click Income across the top.

3. Scroll down to Self-Employment and click Show more.

4. Click Start or Revisit by Income and Expenses.

You can set up your business and report all income and expenses here.

Thank you, TTCheryl! I almost feel like I am looking at a different version... I do not see any "Self-Employment" under "Income" and Income and Expenses focuses almost solely on Income...
