can i write off concert tickets if i run a social media account and posted videos and content about those concerts

To deduct concert tickets as a business expense, you must demonstrate that attending the concert was directly related to your business activities, such as creating content for a social media account that generates income. The expense must be both ordinary (common and accepted in your field) and necessary (helpful and appropriate for your business). If you attend a concert to create content that directly contributes to your business, such as reviewing the event or promoting a brand partnership, the tickets could be deductible. However, personal enjoyment or entertainment without a clear business purpose does not qualify. Keep in mind that the IRS scrutinizes entertainment expenses closely, and you must be able to substantiate the business connection.
