Form W-2 - Statutory Employee

If the Box 13 Statutory employee is checked on your Form W-2, the income needs to be reported on Schedule C.

To enter statutory employee income, 
  1. Add or edit Form W-2 (see the Form W-2 - Entering in Program FAQ for details). 
  2. During the interview process, on the screen titled W-2: Enter Your information, below Box 13, check Statutory employee. This will automatically carry your wages to Schedule C (Form 1040). 
  3. Complete the rest of the interview process. 
Then, to finish entering details about the statutory employee income and expenses, follow these steps.
