Hello, I am 100% owner of an S-Corp in California. I traveled to Dallas (one week) and then to NY (3 weeks) to complete an IT consulting contract. I used the funds in my S-Corp to pay for the travel (Airline, hotel, taxi/uber + meals in Dallas and NY). I received 15K for consulting and about 7K reimbursed for actual travel expense by the customer. They issued a 1099NEC. I don't have any other income in S corp or W2.

My question: I am using the Turbo Tax Business to file my 1120S. Where do I enter the 7K the S-Corp paid for my travel expenses in the desktop version of Turbo Tax Business 2024?

I am on the 'Your Deductions' screen and need guidance on how and which line item to enter this amount of 7K that was reimbursed to me for actual travel expense paid from the S-Corp checking account.

Thank you.

The entire amount paid by your customer is reported as Business Income. Your travel expenses are reported as business expenses under whatever category seems to apply. This could be Meals and Entertainment and/or All Other Expenses. Note that if you enter a business expense in the "wrong" category, it will not affect your taxes. Just be sure you don't enter the same expense twice.
