Can I do my taxes through Tax Act or Turbo Tax or do I need to do the long form.

Also I sell handmade candles online and at craft fairs. Do I add my profit with my daycare profit and combine it as one?

You can use Turbo Tax or Tax Cut to do your taxes. Both of them take you through the instructions for filing the Schedule C or EZ form. You must file the long form Schedule C.

Beware if you use tax software. Unless you already know what you are doing, they can mislead you in many ways. Here's an article on this:http://www.tomcopelandblog.com/2011/...-software.html

Since your candle business is not related to child care, fill out a separate Schedule C for this business.


Join me this Thursday evening for my webinar "2011 Family Child Care Tax Update: How to Reduce Your Taxes". I'll cover all the new changes in tax laws (100% bonus depreciation, lower Social Security taxes, higher mileage and food rates, and much more).
