The sections that I have so far are:
- Supplies
- Meals and entertainment
- Legal and professional fees

Not sure into which of them would these expenses fit.

TurboTax Self Employed Online

Best answer by PaulaM

To be deductible for a self-employed business owner (including LLC's), continuing education expenses must be to:

"Maintains or improves skills required in your present work," or
It is required by law or regulations for maintaining a license to practice, status, or job. For example, professionals can deduct costs for continuing education.

If you are using TurboTax Self-Employed version, then you can deduct under Other Miscellaneous expenses and enter a description for the expense.

If you are using TuboTaxBusiness desktop software, then deduct in the section All other Expenses along with the description.
