Thank you. I have a tutoring business and the parents of one of the students dropped out of the program, so I refunded their annual tuition. How and where do I report that refund as an expense?

You can report refunds under returns and allowances on your Schedule C. This is under rebates and refunds in TurboTax. Enter the refund as a positive number. Please see screenshots below for additional clarification.
