I work different types freelance jobs but use the same programs for some of those jobs. Do i just put those office expenses etc in one job or do i apply that to each job?

I've done photo editing work for a separate job and then used it for a different job as well. I'm assuming I just add it once to one of the sections but just want to makes sure.

If all of your freelance jobs are doing the same type of work (photo-editing), then yes, you would add all of your expenses together for those jobs and report them on the same business Schedule C in the Self-Employment section of TurboTax.  

Now, if one job is photo-editing and the other jobs were dog-grooming, you would need to divide your expenses up between jobs/businesses.

Did you have another question or concern that I didn't answer above?

One of my jobs is that I'm a freelance photo editor the other  was a freelance ghost writer/tutorial writer which involved a program that I used with my photo editing work. Do i split the cost in half for the program I use for both of the jobs?

[DawnC0]

It sounds like they are both similar enough that you could report them together on 1 Schedule C as a freelance video/photo editor/creator (or whatever description you feel best represents you).  You can report the income from both jobs and all your expenses together.  You only need to divide the cost of the software between personal and business use.  If you use it for your freelance work 100%, you can deduct 100% of the cost.  There is no need to divide up the costs between freelance jobs.

That's cool, I do photo editing myself.
