Can I write off We Transfer subscription
TL;DR
A WeTransfer subscription is generally deductible as a business expense if it is used for business purposes, such as transferring files to clients or collaborators.
Detailed Answer
Where to Put It on the Tax Form
Schedule C, Line 27a, which is used for other expenses.
Real World Example
A freelance graphic designer uses WeTransfer to send large design files to clients. The annual subscription costs $120. Since the designer uses WeTransfer exclusively for business, they can deduct the full $120 on Schedule C, Line 27a.
Audit Risk & Documentation Tips
The audit risk for this deduction is Low, provided that the taxpayer maintains proper documentation. Keep records such as invoices for the subscription, logs of file transfers, and any related client communications to substantiate the business use of the service. It's also advisable to document the percentage of business versus personal use if applicable.
