If you receive income for services reported on a 1099-MISC, you are considered to be self employed, and the income is reported on Schedule C.

 

To report Schedule C income you will need TurboTax Deluxe or higher.

 

To report expenses against that Schedule C income you need TurboTax self employed.

 

As long as you haven't submitted payment, deducted the TurboTax fee from your refund, or registered, you can erase your return and start from scratch in TurboTax Online.

  1. Sign in and select a topic to continue your return.
  2. On the next screen, from the left-side menu, select Tax Tools, and then Clear & Start Over (select the menu icon in the upper-left corner if you don't see this menu).
  3. Answer Yes in the pop-up to confirm.
