I am a real estate agent that gets a 1099 from the real estate agency I work for. On schedule C, do the monthly fees I pay them go on the legal & professional line or on their own line under miscellaneous? Should MLS fees and Real Estate Association dues go on the professional line or under miscellaneous? Are ink & stamps considered supplies or office exps?

If you do not find a description that matches your expense, you can/should enter it as an other deduction with a description.
For example, the lock box fee could be a part of office expense, the desk fee you pay your broker maybe rent expense. The Real Estate Association dues maybe "Dues & Subscriptions" or "Professional Dues".
The idea is to separate them in a way that is easy to recognize for you and the IRS. Do not lump a lot of items in one category like "Legal & Professional". MLS fees are a large expense - put them as an other deductions with the description "MLS Fees".
