Can you write off gift to client tax deductible?

The IRS allows a deduction for business gifts given to clients, but limits this deduction to $25 per recipient per year. This means if you give a client a gift worth $50, only $25 is deductible. Incidental costs such as engraving, packaging, or shipping are not included in the $25 limit. Gifts to a company that will benefit multiple employees are considered a gift to one recipient. However, if you and your spouse both give gifts, the $25 limit is shared between you. Gifts that are promotional items with your business name permanently imprinted and cost less than $4 are not subject to the $25 limit. Additionally, entertainment gifts, such as tickets to an event, are treated differently and may fall under entertainment expense rules.
