I started a new business. I oat membership and subscription expenses over $5000 each. This include training and mentorship. Should I expense it on schd C or give 1099?

If your start-up costs are $5,000 or less, you can expense them all in the first year your business is open.  If they are more than $5,000 you have to capitalize the amount in excess of $5,000 and amortize it over 15 years.  When you set up your business in TurboTax, you will be prompted to enter your start-up costs.  For information on Start-Up Costs see the following:
