No. You don't itemize your expenses in such great detail. The IRS only wants a total, as only 1 number goes on the return for this category. You should have the detail for any of your expenses, but you should only list total figures inside Turbo Tax. Your tax return breaks down your expenses into categories, but is not detailed like bookkeeping would be .
