I received a 1099k for a hobby. The 1099k has the gross amount but it does NOT include the fees or shipping that payment processor. where can I mark expenses?

The expesnes are aboutg 20% of the gross. TurboTax is telling me I cannot deduct hobby expenses per the IRS. Does that even include these processing and shipping fees that never hit my bank account?

Unfortunately, you cannot deduct expenses associated with hobby income. A hobby is an activity that you do not intend to pursue a profit. Just because you enjoy the activity does not necessarily mean that it cannot qualify as a business. See Hobby Expenses and People should know if their pastime is a hobby or a business
