Do I still File a Schedule C?

Hello all,





I am a futures trader... and last year I recieved a 1099Misc from my firm based on my profits and filed with a schedule C. as Self Employed.





This year however, my firm sent out 1099-Bs. with our income reported in box 8. Regulated Futures Contracts. So going through the motions with turbo tax. I input the information in the Investment income section Contracts and Straddles. However I see no where to deduct my home office business expenses. (I checked the box that specified this was Self-Employment Income for me)





So my questions:





A: did I enter this information correctly?


B: Can I file a schedule C to take advantage of the expenses I paid?





Thank you all for your help
