I'm trying to amend my return to add a w2. I can't find anywhere to delete a schedule c. When I get to the review before filing, it keeps asking me to fill in all the boxes for a schedule c.
If you are adding information from a W-2, you may have put it in the wrong place. If it was entered as a Form 1099-NEC by accident, then that is what is triggering the Schedule C questions. Double check that you are entering the information in the correct section for W-2s.
If you actually have a Form 1099-NEC, then you probably do need to complete the information for Schedule C.
