How do I report subcontracts as business expenses?

I paid freelance photographer, and videographers for some of my work, how do I report those business expenses? I don't see any option that mentions that or even subcontracts.

Choose “Self-Employment Summary” from under “Self-Employment” in the “Income” tab. Click “Edit” next to your business and then click on “Income and inventory”. Click on “Skip Income” to go to the “Inventory” section.

There you can put your amounts paid for sub-contractors in the space for “Did you hire any Subcontracts?”. Even though the description only mentions goods, it applies to services as well. If you use the “Salaries, Wages and Benefits” spot under Business Expenses, the CRA will expect you to have run a proper payroll (EI, CPP, issued slips, etc…).

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
