  • When you get to a screen entitled "What kind of expenses did you have for [your business name]", below Common Expenses you will see a blue link to "Less common expenses"
  • Click on "Less common expenses", and a list of less common expenses displays.  You will find that editing expenses are not specifically listed under either common expenses or less common expenses
  • The last entry for less common expenses is "Other miscellaneous expenses" - check the box for this selection and click on Continue button
  • On the next page, entitled "Here's your info", you will see a listing for Miscellaneous other expenses under expenses. Click on the Start button on this line and click on Continue button
  • The next page is "Let's enter the miscellaneous expenses for your work - on it, you can enter a description of your other miscellaneous expenses of "Editing Expense" and enter the associated expense amount
