If you operated a business or practiced your profession as a sole proprietor, report your income and expenses on Schedule C.  The loss (expenses greater than income) would be determined from Schedule C and reported on IRS Form 1040.

 

Page 84 of IRS 1040 Instructions will provide you with more specific information about the reporting various types of expenses on Schedule C.
