Real Estate expenses

Hello,

 

I have monthly real estate fees and training costs that I paid for out of pocket in 2019 that are not reimbursable by my broker.  2 questions:

 

1: Are they deductible?

2: If so, where do I enter this information in Turbo Tax Deluxe?

 

Thank you.

Real Estate expenses

Job-related expenses for employees are no longer deductible on most people’s federal return in tax years 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017.

 

However, if you are a 1099 contractor, you can deduct those expenses on your schedule c.  

To enter your home office, vehicle mileage, supplies, and other common business expenses:

  1. Type Schedule C in the Search box.
  2. Select the Jump to link.
    • If this is your first time working in this section: You’ll be asked some questions about your self-employment work and income and then have a chance to enter your expenses.
    • If  you have already entered some information about your self-employment work:
      • Select Edit next to your business and confirm your general business info if asked.
      • Select Add expenses for this work.
  3. Select an expense type that you had.
  4. Enter your expense description and amount. (We may ask you some additional questions for certain types of expenses.)
  5. If you had more than one expense for a type, select Add another group to include them all.
  6. If you have additional expenses of other types, repeat steps 3 through 5 above to add more.

Yes, you will include your Form 1099-misc income on schedule c. Once you have set up the information for your real estate business, you will be prompted to enter your income. You can also type 1099-misc in the Search box and then select the Jump to link to quickly reach the input screen.

I received a 1099-Misc statement. So I can enter this information on a Schedule C?
