How do I add my expenses as a licensed life insurance agent with no income yet?

[bunny542004-yaho]

I have social security income and also income from part time jobs. I became state licensed for health and life insurance with TransAmerica Financial Advisers (World Financial Group) but have no income yet and file a joint return with my wife. Can I enter my expenses paid for from my other sourses of income somewhere on the tax form?

Yes.
