Where do I enter schedule c write offs

Employees use Form 2106. However, for 2018 returns, 2106 will be used Only by Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, fee-basis state or local government officials, and employees with impairment-related work expenses. Due to the suspension of miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to the 2% floor under section 67(a), employees who do not fit into one of the listed categories may not use Form 2106. https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-2106

Other than the situations Rainman listed above (and in the FAQ below), while employee job expenses may no longer be deductible on a Federal return, in a very few states they may still be deductible on a state return, subject to the 2% rule.    If your state allows them, then when you enter them on the Federal side, the Federal return "should" ignore them, while they "should" still transfer to your state return if they are qualified to be deducted in your state and together with any other "miscellaneous itemized deductions" allowed in your state meet the 2% rule.
