Can I deduct my software subscriptions (Adobe, Figma, Notion, etc.)?+
Yes — any software used for business is deductible. Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Notion, Slack, Zoom, GitHub, hosting, domain names, design assets — all deductible as business expenses. Keep receipts or use credit card statements as documentation.
I bought a new laptop for work. Can I deduct the full price?+
For business-use computers under $2,500, you can use Section 179 to deduct the full purchase price the year you bought it. For mixed-use (some personal use), only the business percentage is deductible. We recommend keeping a separate work computer to maximize the deduction.
