Last year I started writing a book. I had to purchase several books to conduct my research which was essential for the book I write. I deducted those expenses on a dedicated Schedule C that I filed (in addition to my main business Schedule C which is in a totally unrelated area).
This year I did not have any expenses related to the book writing. I am still working on the book (yes, it takes several years to finish it, when not working full time on it).
Should I file Schedule C this year for this "book writing" business? ($0 expenses, $0 income)?
Or should I simply delete that Schedule C from my TurboTax file? (filing it in upcoming years only when I have income/expense)
Thanks in Advance, Nickolas
