In the past I have listed my business as a musician and entered my income and expenses there.  This year our band decided to form an LLC.  I now get my income reported on a K-1.  Do I still put my expenses under the business tab (Schedule C) or do I need to do away with the business under that tab since income is now reported under personal with a K-1

Yes, you enter them a different way. You are allowed to deduct, from this income, any expenses you are required to pay that are not reimbursed. In my example I used the 1065-K1.

  1. Sign into your TurboTax Account
  2. Search (upper right) > Type k1 > Select the Jump to... link
  3. Select Update beside your K1 > Edit beside the Activity 
  4. Continue to the screen 'Describe the Partnership'
  5. Check the box beside 'I am required to pay supplemental business expenses on behalf of this partnership/LLC for which I am not reimbursed'
  6. Check the box beside ' All of my investment in this activity is at risk' and/or any other box applicable
  7. Continue through the remaining screens to enter your expenses
  8. See the image below.

Thanks.  I do remember seeing that and wondered if that is where it should go.  I appreciate the help!!  The word requirement was what kept me from going done that road.
