You would enter one lump sum for each expense category, such as "office supplies".  You should keep all the receipts, though, with your other materials used to prepare your return for the year.  In the unlikely event of an audit, you could be asked to produce the receipts that went into your totals.  That's true for any part of your return, even a simple W-2.
