Thank you for raising your concern here on the Community page, @joesanders95.
The system looks at your current income and allowable expense to quantify the profit. Some types of expenses aren't business allowable depending on the business operation, entity, and local regulations that apply. In your case, I would suggest consulting your accountant to help categorize your expenses correctly (allowable/disallowable).
Also, here's an article you can read more about the SA103F deduction categories you can claim as allowable expenses for self-employment.
Please keep in touch if there's anything else I can do to help you with QuickBooks. I've got your back. Have a great day!
