Where do I enter airfare costs for Self-employed? Are they totaled up, then entered?

In the Expense section for your business, scroll down and click on Less common expenses.  Scroll down and check the box for Business Travel

Ok, yes I see that now, thank you. It is in a different place than other expenses. Looks like I need to enter each separately. For example airfare, uber, baggage fee, etc..., then the next trip: airfare, parking, baggage fee...

 

Sound correct?

You only need to enter the annual total for each description.  The program will total it for you.

Entering the individual items is only for your use.  Only the Business Travel total is entered on the Schedule C.

I understand, yes. It is for my records if I enter each airfare or bag fee separately in Turbo tax Self-Employed.

 

I suppose the same goes for meal in the other section. Those are only at 50%, but I assume the software calculates that for you.
