Q. "Where on our return do we put in deductions for education/training/coaching expenses?"
A. Part V, of Schedule C, "Other expenses". There is space in Part V to write a brief description of the "other expenses". "Other expenses" comes up in the TurboTax business expenses interview.
This assumes that your business is up and running and theses expenses were not "start up costs". If they were start up costs, it is entered under assets and set up for depreciation (amortization).
The answer further assumes you are a self employed sole proprietor and not a regular W-2 employee. Starting in 2018, employees are not allowed to deduct any job expenses.
Even in previous years, the deduction was limited to being an itemized deduction, subject to the 2% of AGI threshold.
