1099-MISC Deductions

I have used Turbo Tax for the last 20 years and Deluxe the  past few years. Last year I was able to take my 1099-MISC which included actual freelance wages combined with out-of-pocket expenses and deduct my expenses from my return. The message I get is "Be sure to visit the Business Income and Expenses section so we can cover the business deductions you may be eligible to deduct". Does this mean that I need to upgrade? I was able to do this last year using Deluxe!!!

You should still be able to use TurboTax Online Deluxe for Schedule C/C-EZ.

If you are using the desk top (download/CD) version of Deluxe, you will not have to upgrade to enter your expenses.

 

Online users do have to upgrade to the Self Employment version.

So where do we enter this information into TurboTax?
