I appreciate the reply and links. I'm not new to self-employment (34 years), but did pick up a side gig during Covid with handyman work requiring a second Schedule C, and the expenses for that would seem to differ from my other work in that I have numerous materials purchased that go into the making of a final product. So wondering where to list those in TurboTax Self-Employed's categories.
The Supplies category has a 'learn more' link that seems to indicate that expenses listed there will not be deducted from the fed return. Here is the language"
"Supplies Expenses
Job-related expenses aren't deductible on your federal return, but some states allow you to deduct them on your state return. We'll figure out if these expenses can affect your state return and do the calculations for you.
Supply expenses are incidental items that usually cost less than $200 and last less than a year.
Examples include:
•Computer accessories, like external hard drives, trackpads, mouse, and cords
•Reference books and guides
•Cleaning supplies
•Safety and protective gear, like helmets, gloves, and goggles"
Thanks for the help.
