Your self-employment prep checklist includes a line item "Seminars and Training" - where does that fit on the online expense page?

Just need to know where, on the Turbo Tax online portal, do I enter Training costs?

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.
