Why does my self employment income show zero when I have input my gross income and expenses?

Why does my self employment income show zero when I have input my gross income and expenses?

The most common reason for this is that the business period has not been entered. Return to your Business Summary and select Edit. On the identification screen, ensure the business period dates have been filled in (usually January 1 - December 31). 

The other reasons for showing zero net income are that your expenses exceed your business income or the income has been entered in the wrong spot (not in the income section).
