I'm a wine/spirits ambassador - my 1099's are gross (includes wines paid my me etc) used in my demo. Where do I deduct these expenses in TT?

[lfasbinder]

I am an independent demonstrator (contractor) non-employee.

My 1099 reflects gross which includes an hourly wage plus demo products that I paid for but is reimbursed and included in the gross.  Can I deduct the expense so as not to be calculated in total taxed earnings?

Where do I deduct these expenses for the product in TT?  These products are not machinery or computers...Please help

Yes, you can deduct the purchases as an expense on your return.  Because you have the 1099 MISC income, a Schedule C form will be created with your return and the business expenses get deducted on there as well.  See the steps below to be brought to Schedule C expense entry.  You can enter them as supplies under the Other Common Business Expenses section.  See the sample screenshot attached.
