Hi there, I just wanted to know which fields I should fill in/select. I'm a freelance writer and want to declare my income from this work (in addition to full time income).

This query relates to question 4283 "Please add up all your business incomes and then subtract all your business expenses, as declared here. This will tell you if your business made a Profit or a Loss. Using the business code table, please enter the applicable 4 digit profit / loss code that describes your business activity." in the Self Employed/Independent Contractor/Freelancer section.

Kindly capture this freelance income under the business section and add the expenses you incurred while making the income.
