In TurboTax, the T5018 form is used to report contract payments if you're working as a subcontractor. If you're using TurboTax and you need to input information from a T5018 Statement of Contract Payments, you would do so as part of reporting your self-employment income. Here is how you can do it:
Open your TurboTax software: Begin by logging into your TurboTax account and select the tax return you're currently working on.
Report Self-Employment Income: Navigate to the income section. If you are using TurboTax Online, you would typically find “Self-employment” or “Business income and expenses” under the income tab.
Enter Business Details: You will enter the business name (this could be your name if you are a sole proprietor) and your business number, if applicable.
Enter Income Details: In the section where you are reporting your business income, there should be a place to enter “Other income” or a specific prompt to enter T5018 amounts. This is typically found under business income in the forms related to self-employment.
Save and Review: Once you've entered all the pertinent information, ensure you review all entries for accuracy before proceeding to the next section.
If you are unable to find specifically where to enter details from a T5018 form in your version of TurboTax, it can be beneficial to use the search function available in the software, typically indicated by a magnifying glass icon. Simply type "T5018" or "contract payments" and follow the prompted guidance.
Additionally, if this seems complex or if you're unsure, consider reaching out to TurboTax’s customer support or consult a tax professional to ensure your tax filings are accurate and complete.
