Business Expense Questions

[joe_reardon]

Hello

I started a photography workshop business in 2019. I had clients that I brought overseas for the workshop, I paid for all meals, hotels and local transportation out of the fee I charged.

Not sure where to put the expenses for each of these categories

Thanks

Joe

You will need either the Desktop Home and Business or the Online Self-Employment software.  you will then select the:

1. Business or Self Employed section.
2. Select Business Income and Expenses
3. Continue through the profile questions and you will come to a listing under Your Business.
4. Here you can post Incom, Inventory,Expenses and other business items.

I guess I was looking for more specific guidance. Under which section do I put the expenses that i had for Hotels that I paid for my clients on the workshop. I rented mini buses with drivers and need to know where to put this along with the drivers tips. I also picked up the tab for my clients lunches daily and need to know where to itemize this as well

Thanks
