Under what category do you list:

* Chef Success fees
* PWS fees
* Plane fare to conference
* Booth fees
* Computer/communications fees such as cel phone, computer, internet access, etc.
* Business dinners
* Cab fare at conference
* Logo wear

I've generally been using the standby "show expenses" with a note about what it is for, should my accountant question it. But I am wondering if this is correct.
 
I created new categories for some things. I made one that is labeled "business supplies" and "insurance", etc. Then you can specify more clearly on the description line.
 
Logo Wear, Booth fees, and PWS I consider advertising.
Anything to do with conference I consider training.

Sometimes you have to make your own categories. I try to go with the allowed categories for my taxes.

I didn't know you could make your own categories.

If anybody does ... make sure they are checked when you do your report. I just added $400 worth of expenses and my report only went up by $15 ... because all but two charges were in new categories!
 
I have made a few new categories. Mine have been very specific so far.
