Where to enter business supplies over $200.00?

[KarenM90]

If you are self employed, you can add Supplies expenses to your Self Employed Expenses (Schedule C) and add those there.

Go to Self Employment income & Expenses under Income & Expenses, and choose Add Expense.  Choose Supplies and continue through the onscreen prompts.

If the expenses are related to your W2 job, as of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law in 2017, unreimbursed employee business expenses are no longer deductible on your federal return, except in the following specific situations:  

• Armed Forces reservist
• Qualified performing artist
• Fee-basis state or local government official
• You're disabled and have impairment-related expenses

However, job-related expenses may be deductible in your state. So you can enter your expenses under the Deductions & Credits Section, scroll down to Employment Expenses, and choose Job Expenses for W-2 Income, and follow the onscreen prompts, and we’ll figure out if you can deduct them.
