Trade subcontractors expense

My husband works in a trade and has a sole proprietorship. He hired subcontractors for labour purposes. When we fill our our TurboTax online, there is a place for subcontracts, but it is under the Cost of Goods Sold section. We don't manufacture or sell any goods, so where to I put the cost of subcontractors considering they were just manual labour workers?

Trade subcontractors expense

You would still enter your subcontractor expenses in the Cost of Goods Sold section, even if you provide a service instead of selling goods.
