I am filing 6 1099-MISC forms for contractors I used for my home business. Where do I enter them as a "business cost'?

[AnthonyC · Accepted solution]

If you are issuing 1099MISCs, then you will also want to include that amount as a business expense for your Schedule C.  You can enter it as an expense for Contract Labor under Business Expenses > Other Common Business Expenses.  See screenshots below.

If you need to get back to your self-employed income/expenses for Schedule C follow the instructions below -

• Log into your account and click Take Me To My Return (you must click this before searching if you are not already in your account)
• Type “Schedule C" in the search box, top right of your screen, then click the magnifying glass
• Click the "jump to schedule c" ink in the search results.
• You will arrive at the Your Business summary page where you can add/edit a business
• Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your business income and expenses
• When you get to Business Expenses - select Other Common Business Expenses
• Choose the Contract Labor option from the list
• Enter the amounts you paid out for the 1099-MISC
