Loss of Inventory Question

I work a chocolate company and the majority of my sales is through shows. After the shows the chocolate is only good for so long and I have to eventually toss some out. This being my first year in business I had to toss out alot.  Where can I account for those losses in Turboxtax.

 

Someone told me I couldn't but that doesn't really make sense as its lost product. Would it be under doubtful account? Or inventory "other costs".

You can put it in Inventory "Other Costs".

Thank you that is what I figured! I went onto the "expert" call within Turbo Tax and the guy said I couldn't claim it which didn't seem right to me. He didn't seem to know what he was talking about.
