I had 7 people that helped me out and I payed them less than $600. I am able to put that down as an expense? I di not pay anyone above $600 for a 1099.

What was the purpose of the expense? Was this to help you in your business (Schedule C)?

 

If so, this is considered Contract Labor (there is an expense line for this), even if you did not have to give them 1099-MISCs.

Yes, if there help was business related. Their 1099 status is irrelevant.
