Categories of expenses -  accounting, advertising, bad debts, bank charges, contract labor, freight, dues and subscriptions, insurance (liability), interest on business loan or building, legal, office, mileage, postage, rent, repairs, supplies, telephone, travel,  meals at 50%, uniforms or clothing expense, wages for labor.   You would then have any small tools or equipment under $250 or $2500 if you take the de minimus election.   Then any larger pieces of equipment depreciated.  For you your computer, if you purchase a phone, if you don't have a dedicated line part of your phone bill.  You would need to consider if you qualify for a home office deduction,  if not if you use part of the home but don't qualify for home office,  utilizing a % of utilities, real estate taxes,  home mortgage, home insurance could be considered.
