Question

How do you report business related expenses on Turbo Tax? This is my first year filing as self-employed.

Under Wages & Income, there is no option to add business expenses. How do I add this? I can not find it under Deductions & credits either.

Selecting Wages & Income is the correct way to begin. However, after selecting Wages & Income, scroll down the screen and select Self-Employment. After entering some basic information about your line of work, and your income, you should see some basic expense categories pre-selected for you that are associated with your type of work. At the bottom of that pre-selected list, you should see an option to add your own expenses.
