Reporting contractor expenses under independent contractor or outside service category is acceptable and is the norm. 

The organizational fees are normally deducted/amortized over 180 months, and you can elect to deduct up to $5,000 in the first year. However, if it is your first and last year, you will be deducting the full amount in the same year.
