Where do I put the cost of materials for handyman jobs

I buy materials for jobs and the cost of them are included in what the client pays me. They should be subtracted from my income as an expense, but I don't know where to put them.

If you're not reporting inventory, enter your expenses as follows:

  • Log on to TurboTax and click on the orange button, Take Me To My Return.
  • Type Sch C in the search/find bar and click search/find.
  • Click on Jump to Sch C.
  • Click on start/edit or Add Another Business.
  • TurboTax will ask you a series of questions.
  • At the 'Your xxxx Business' screen, scroll down to Business Expenses.
  • To enter expenses like sales tax, cell phone and office supplies, click start/update next to Other Common Business Expenses
  • On the Let's write off some business expenses screen, scroll down to:
  • Sales tax - report under Taxes and Licenses
  • Cost of Purchases - report under Supplies
  • All other expenses, report under Other Miscellaneous Expenses.
  • Continue with the onscreen interview.
