Can I remove the "Self-employment income and expenses" line item from my "Your income and expenses" page? I cannot see a way to do this.

TurboTax Online has a new look this season and acts a bit differently.

It seems that the worksheets and categories are set up partially on the answers you give during the initial interview, as well as last year data and the forms you enter for this season.

I was able to get Self-Employment ON the summary screen, but afterwards could not remove it.

I cleared and started over but that did not eliminate that item.

That category is reporting zero, so it does not matter as far as your return is concerned.

The program is trying to be "smarter" and know what you'll need before you ask for it. In your case, it thinks you'll need to address Self-Employment income. Even if you won't be using this category of income, it may prove impossible to delete it once the program has assigned it.

It may disappear once you finish the return and are ready to file.

Regardless, if there is no Self-Employment income, there will be no mention of Schedule C or Self-Employment income on the final return.
