can i write off my canva pro subscription
TL;DR
Yes, a Canva Pro subscription can generally be deducted as a business expense if it is used for business purposes, such as creating marketing materials or managing social media content.
Detailed Answer
Where to Put It on the Tax Form
Schedule C, Line 27a for 'Other Expenses'.
Real World Example
A freelance graphic designer uses Canva Pro to create client logos and social media graphics. The annual subscription costs $120. Since the subscription is used entirely for business purposes, the designer deducts the full $120 on Schedule C, Line 27a.
Audit Risk & Documentation Tips
The audit risk for this deduction is generally low, provided the subscription is clearly used for business purposes. Keep records such as receipts, invoices, and examples of business-related projects created using Canva Pro. If the subscription is used for both personal and business purposes, maintain a log or documentation that supports the business-use percentage claimed.
IRS Reference
IRC §162, which covers ordinary and necessary business expenses.
