Why is there NOT a section where we can put our actual self employment income anymore? If we are self employed we do not receive a 1099 . We have invoices of our own!

You can use the Other or General self-employment income entry. See the cash/checks option in the link below.

How do I report income from self-employment?

This is in fact what I was forced to do [insert my main invoices in Other income] but then at the end it shows the Self employment income section empty and with the "review" button active and when I proceed, a window comes up telling that I am not a self-employed photographer this year. This is going to be very delicate for IRS!!! your can see:
1. IMAGE 1-----> there is no section to insert invoices we write out as freelance photographers except for 1099 or other income [which is not other but it is our MAIN income]
2. IMAGE 2 ------> even when inserted in other income, it does not add up to Self-employed and still shows as "to REVIEW"

3. IMAGE 3 ------> if I proceed anyways, it tells me I do not have a self-employed activity anymore! But when I click on review, the section is missing and it goes directly into expenses

IMAGE 1 only choices

IMAGE 2 still empty section while last year 2023 had a number

IMAGE 3 - message about NOT doing photography work ANY LONGER! WHICH IS NOT TRUE

THANK YOU FOR THE REPLY AND HOPE IT CAN BE RESOLVED

You need to select the radio button in the first image "other self-employed income" (from your first screenshot). This will allow you to enter the total of your income received from your invoices.

You will also need to remove it from the general "other income" section.

If this is what you've done (entered in other self-employed income), let us know so we can provide you steps to give us a token which allows us to better guide you through the process.
