The expenses in that category are entered into TurboTax in the Business Expenses section.  In the Business tab,

 

  1. Click on Business Income and Expenses and then I'll choose what I work on
  2. Click on Update next to Business Income and Expenses
  3. Click on Edit next to your business's name
  4. Scroll down to Business Expenses and click on Update next to Other Common Business Expenses
  5. The last category is Other Miscellaneous Expenses - this data goes to Part V of your Schedule C

 

If you are in Forms Mode, you have to go to the Schedule C worksheet (Schedule C Wks) and Scroll down about halfway to Miscellaneous Expenses-Other (the list is alphabetical) to edit the amounts.
