Self-employed
In TurboTax Online, you generally have two ways to enter these costs, depending on the nature of the training:
1. The "Other Expenses.
For most self-employed individuals, professional development, online courses, and seminars are entered under Other Expenses.
Where to find it: In the self-employment expense navigation, look for a section titled "Other Business Expenses" or "Miscellaneous Expenses."
How to enter: You will see a blank field where you can manually type a description (e.g., "Seminars and Training") and the total amount.
The Math: This maps to Line 9270 on the T2125 form.
2. Business Taxes, Licences, and Memberships
If the "training" was actually a mandatory certification renewal or a professional dues payment that includes a training component:
Where to find it: Look for the category "Business taxes, licences, and memberships."
This maps to Line 8760.
