Once you enter you basic information and the income click "Done" to finish the "Self-employment" topic. You will be offered the option to upgrade to the "Self-employed" product, which you can accept if your expenses are large enough to warrant the upgrade.
Once upgraded, click "Income & Expenses" tab at the top of the page and go back to the "Self-employment" topic and review the business entries. Scroll all the way down and you should find the option to enter expenses.
I already purchased and am using the self-employed version. After entering my 1099's I don't see a place for all the rest of that information. I've been claiming the same things for 15 years. I've just never done it on my own with a program like this. I know what my itemizations are and have them tallied.
You can deduct the same expenses in TurboTax like you did before, the only deference you'll need to set up your business assets for depreciation, if you have any. Once you know how to navigate the software, it is relatively easy.
There are tow ways how to enter your business expenses in TurboTax.
1. Click on the Business tab and select Continue
2. Select “I’ll choose what I work on” and this takes you to “Let’s gather your business info” screen
3. The first section down is Business Income and Expenses, choose Update
4. You are now at the “Here’s the business info we have so far” screen where you should see your Business listed
5. Click Edit next to that business and on the next screen, scroll down to the fourth section which should be Business Expenses and select “Visit All”
Or you can jump to the section using Search bar.
