You can include these expenses as “Professional Advice and Service” in the expenses section. To get there, click on the “Find” icon in the top right and search for “Self”. Select “Self-Employment Summary” and then click the “Go” button. Click “Edit” next to the business you want to add the expenses to. Then click “Business Expenses” from the list that appears. On the Let's Look at Your Work Expenses page, click “Continue” until you get to the Did You Pay Banking Fees or For Advice? page. You can enter your “Professional Advice and Service” in the bottom box.
