How in Turbotax online to add "Dues" as an expense category for a self-employed business? Is my software defective for making this seemingly impossible?

How in Turbotax online to add "Dues" as an expense category for a self-employed business? My software stupidly doesn't include it as a common (which it is) or even uncommon type of expense. Am I missing something or is my software defective or is the software that bad?

 looking at Schedule C you could use Commissions & fees or Legal & professional services or Office Expense or Taxes & Licenses.   If you don’t see a category that fits you can just put it under Other Miscellaneous Expenses is the 16th item under Expenses - Click the Start or Update button.
