Thank you. Is there a specific category that is more appropriate for this type of expense? The legal fees category, for example?

You could choose from one of several expense categories: Commissions and fees, Legal and Professional, Taxes and Licenses, or Miscellaneous.

Any of these descriptions would be sufficiently accurate to report a copyright registration fee.

Do you have an Intuit account?
