turbo tax filing - inventory with cash method accounting small business?

I am filing my small sole proprietor business taxes with turbo tax. I use the cash method of accounting. I am so confused about inventory. I cannot understand if it is required. According to turbo tax I do not have to take inventory. So can I skip the cost of goods sold section? Thanks.

    if you have a business that pretty much uses up any inventory you purchase you can probably not indicate any inventory, only report what you purchase

    however, in many businesses, it is needed to declare the inventory on hand to more closely arrive at a net profit, it is a hybrid cash/accrual method

    personally I have a little beer bar(or a small fast food) and essentially they really pretty much use up what they buy each month, we don't show inventory, but I also have a wholesaler, on the cash basis and we do show inventory because if we reported just his purchases, he would never have any profit

    Try to check the Idea that some offices of refund solutions could provide you with a refund stored in credit cards. This will help those who do not have bank account.
