Update start up costs as follows:

  • In TurboTax H & B, click on Business / I'll choose what I work on.
  • Click Update to the right of the Business entity to be updated.
  • Click Edit for the business activity to be updated.
  • Scroll down to Other Common Business Expenses.  Click Update.
  • Scroll down to Other Miscellaneous Expenses.  Click Update.

You can deduct up to $5,000 in startup and $5,000 organizational costs as current expenses if the costs are under $50,000, respectively.

 

You can choose to amortize startup and organizational costs greater than $5,000, respectively, (but less than $50,000, respectively) over a period of 15 years.
