I took the bar last year and wanted to add it to my taxes as well as associated expenses. Please advise where this should be entered.

Bar for what? Medical doctor? Lawyer? Something else? Are you self-employed? Was this exam a condition of employment or continued employment, and if audited can you prove it? What exactly are "associated expenses"?
