Can I write off business books and eBooks?

Business books and eBooks are deductible as a business expense if they are directly related to your trade or business. This means the books must provide information that is helpful and appropriate for your business activities. For example, a marketing consultant can deduct books on marketing strategies, while a chef can deduct cookbooks. However, personal reading materials or books not directly related to your business activities are not deductible.
