Yes, as long as it is not a hobby, (meaning that you are earning or attempting to earn a profit) you can deduct those publishing fees and other business expenses from your fiction writer income on your personal tax return on Schedule C.

You can find more information about business expenses at the link here: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/self-employment-taxes/reporting-self-employment-business-income...

Should I fill out the Qualified Tuition Expenses paid in 2023 if my tuition was covered by financial aid? Or do I leave that blank and not give information about tuition?
