    You may put other supplies' expenses as they might be eligible for a tax deduction. You can include small items such as pencils, pens, stamps, paper clips, and stationery, even the cost of cleaning supplies. However, do not include desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and calculators because those are capital items.

    Office supplies are items that support short-term operation and they usually need to be refilled or replaced. Examples: printer ink, paper clips, paper, pens, staples, note pads and such.

     

    If what you are referring to as "other supplies" is related to those items, yes you can use the "Office Supplies" section.
