Can I write off a camera for YouTube videos?

If you are using the camera primarily for producing YouTube videos that generate income, it can be considered a business expense and therefore deductible. However, the camera must be used more than 50% for business purposes to qualify for the Section 179 deduction. If the camera is used less than 50% for business, you might still be able to deduct some of the cost through depreciation. It's important to keep detailed records of how the camera is used to substantiate your claim in case of an audit. Personal use of the camera is not deductible.
