Question

I do copywriting work and as part of a project, I had an item printed for a client for which I paid up front and got reimbursed. Where can I enter this cost to deduct?

The cost of the printed piece was reimbursed as a normal project payment (for which I received a 1099 MISC) but it should not be counted as income as it was a pass-through cost to the client.

If you are reporting the reimbursement received as income, then you can deduct the cost under Printing expense. 

 

Log into your TurboTax account.

Click on Federal

Income & Expenses

Add expenses for this work

Other Miscellaneous Expense

You can enter Printing in the Description field and then the amount

 

You can also enter it under Cost of Sales, but if you don't have any other costs, entering it under the expense portion is a better way to go.
