Thanks for the follow up.  I know where the "Advertising" category is, however, Advertising falls under the umbrella of Marketing.  Where does the rest of "marketing" expenses go?  I don't see a category for this.  Like public relations, community involvement, etc.

The data you enter into TurboTax will populate the Schedule C  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sc.pdf">https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sc.pdf</a>
You will note an Advertising expenses category but not a marketing category. Enter your description of the marketing expenses in the fields provided in the Advertising category and the dollar amount.

Ok thanks.  That's weird because they are taxed differently unless that has changed this year.
