How do I deduct costs to pay contractors for self-employment?

Hi,

 

No matter how I try to get to the Inventory section in which I could supposedly enter all subcontractors' fees, I am unable to get to it.

Can you please let us know if you are using TurboTax Online or TurboTax CD/Download?

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Agreed! This page (subcontractors) does not show up for me either! Please advise

@jnsalmon Payments to subcontractors goes into the Inventory section. If you don't see the option for inventory, then you chose "Professional" as your business category, instead of "Business". You would need to delete the business and start a new one to change the category.
