Business cost expense

specialneeds · ‎June 4, 2019

I work as a 1099 contractor with special needs adults. The job requires me to take them to public places (movies, indoor golf/ special events etc.) to socialize. The clients pay for there cost but I have to pay for my cost to enter. Can I take this off as a expense and where under business expense if so?
