I took these classes to work from home and earn added retirement income. Is the expense to this company deductible?
Yes. You can deduct them as Professional Development as a Miscellaneous Expense on Schedule C.
How to get to that area : While inside the software and working on your return, type Schedule C in the Search at the top of the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there). There will be a popup that says Jump to Schedule C. Select that to get to the general area.
After selecting Other Miscellaneous Business Expenses, you will be able to type a description and the amount.
Follow through all the areas in the Business section of the TurboTax software and it will provide you with a lot of assistance. You'll notice blue links that have more information and details about the particular sections that will be extremely helpful.
