Where can I deduct travel expenses (hotels, etc)? I don't see a expense category that seems to match.

[MayaD]

If you're self-employed, you can deduct travel expenses on Schedule C (Form 1040), Profit or Loss From Business (Sole Proprietorship.

Travel expenses are the ordinary and necessary expenses of traveling away from home for your business, profession, or job. You can't deduct expenses that are lavish or extravagant, or that are for personal purposes.

You would report it under Business Travel.

3. Select Business Income and Expenses
4. Select Edit next to the line of business
5. Scroll down to Business expenses and Select all
