Hello, benthepi.

 

I'll share some details about categorizing your transactions.

 

In QuickBooks Self-Employed, there are a lot of expense categories. You'll want to make sure that they match with the specific lines on your Schedule C. 

 

Since the charitable contribution option is not included in the other expenses category, I recommend consulting your accountant. They can help decide on how to categorize the transaction and ensure your books are accurate at the end of the year.

 

If you're not affiliated with one, you can visit our Intuit Find-A-ProAdvisor site to find certified professionals near you.

 

You can also read this article for more details: Schedule C and expense categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

I'll be around if you require additional information about the categories or other concerns with your QuickBooks Self-Employed account. Take care and stay safe!

Hello, I've contacted my tax preparer and he stated that they should go under "contributions". Is there not a solution for this? Does another version Quickbooks have the "contributions" option? Thx

Hello @benthepi,

 

As of the moment, there isn't an integrated way to use contribution as the category of your expenses. QuickBooks Self-Employed used a list of categories based on Schedule C from the IRS for Self-Employed individuals.

 

If you wish to proceed, we've got a different version of QuickBooks which allows you to manually create a category for your expenses. If you wish to do so, here's an article you can to learn more about the upgrade: Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, I've also included this reference helpful for your self-employed business: Updates to expense categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know in the comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.
