What Is Form C (Schedule C)?

Form C, officially known as Schedule C (Form 1040), is the IRS form used by sole proprietors to report profit or loss from a business. It is required when you file your individual income tax return (Form 1040) and need to detail business income, expenses, and cost of goods sold.
