We have a gardening company and paid 2 incorporated tree companies for a clients job. One is under $600 and 1 is over. Where would I enter this expense for my business?

You will Edit or Update your Business Income & Expenses. Among the options for Expenses is Contract Labor where you can enter the Description and Amount for the work done.

And you don't need to give incorporations or other businesses a 1099Misc at all.

I wasn't clear on my question, sorry.
Where would I write off this expense for my business?

As Contract Labor schedule C Line 11.  Why didn't the answer help?

Go to Business tab- then Continue
Business Income and Expenses - Click the Start or Update button

If you haven't added a business yet you have to go though a lot of screens describing your business.  Or if you already added your business, you should see the Business Summary page that lists your businesses, (right below the list you can Add Another Business)

Then click EDIT by the business name and the next screen should be a list of  topics,
Business Profile, Income, Inventory/Cost of Goods Sold, Expenses, Assets, and Final Details last.

Under Business Expenses, Click Start or Update by Other common business expenses
Contract Labor is the 5th item in list

Thank you, I missed the main answer.   I thought it was an advertisement and didn't even read it. I appreciate your input too.
