Hello,

 

Its end of year and have inventory that has become slow moving/obsolete that we need to adjust the value. We are crediting each department inventory reserve a dollar amount and debiting our Inventory obsolescence expense account that same amount. Our balance sheet shows the expense account under the COGS and a negative amount to get our net inventory value. 

 

What I need help with is on turbotax I can not find a place to put it in "Other Production-Related Costs" or is it already accounted for with ending inventory value?

You can just adjust your Ending Inventory amount to account for the obsolete inventory. That will increase your Cost of Goods Sold.
