You can enter your self-employment expenses. 

 

Here's how to do this in TurboTax Online, using "supplies" as an example, but follow the steps for each expense you have:

  • Navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Self-employment income and expenses
  • Select or create your business
  • Choose  "Add expenses for this work"
  • Select  the category. For example, "supplies" and choose continue at the bottom of the page
  • In the list of expenses, "supplies" will now appear.
  • Choose the pencil icon to add the amount
