Where do I put my business expenses (books, supplies, etc.) from my private tutoring for which i received 1099-misc forms?

[gem13_us]

I put my two 1099-misc earnings from the two companies I tutor for as an independent contractor, but where do I put the expenses for my tutoring contract business (milage, books and supplies, printer supplies, etc.)?  I don't see any place to put them under any category.

In order to claim expenses against your 1099 income you should be using Turbo Tax Self-Employed which will walk you through where to enter in the income and all your expenses and then generate the Schedule C which will be reported with your 1040 and other tax items.

You can get to the Schedule C by:

1. Log in to your account

2. Click on continue my taxes

3. On the left-hand side is the menu bar, click tax tools

4. Click tools

5. Click Topic Search

6. Enter in Schedule C

7. Click go
