Hello,

I am an actress and singer and I am trying to figure out how to input my expenses on my Federal Tax return. Things such as: Flight & Hotel stays for auditions, Acting Classes, Singing Lessons, and other things. How do you enter them on TurboTax Deluxe?

Are you filing Schedule C for self employment or 1099NEC income?

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs.

Hi @VolvoGirl

Thank you for your response! I wasn't filing out a Schedule C for Self-Employment, but is that how to enter those types of expenses? I guess I'm not 100% sure what these expenses are classified as. I have TurboTax Deluxe via a download for Mac.

Forget about the expenses for a minute. How are you reporting the income? Did you get W2 or 1099NEC for the income? You can no longer deduct expenses for W2 income.
