What category do I put software and cloud expenses

You indicated we could use Subscriptions but here is what turbo tax states in Explain this:  

(Online subscriptions for business programs like Craftsman Appraisal Estimator, Alamode for Appraisal programs, and many others that we subscript to and pay months fees for use for my business) they do not seem to fit these)  Are you saying this is no longer correct?

The Explain This is correct, but it is just a small sample of what you can include in that section.  If you have software business subscriptions, the fees would go under subscription. 

If you would prefer to enter them in more detail, you can enter them as miscellaneous expenses and enter each one with details and cost.  It will not make a difference if you enter them in Miscellaneous or Subscriptions on the final result of the return.
