Tax-time review
The deduction angle to preserve
Professional dues, education, software, insurance, and home office are deductible for tax and accounting professionals.
That is the relevant review angle—not an automatic tax result. Business purpose, personal-use allocation, limits, accounting method, and current law can change the treatment. Keep the source evidence and have a qualified professional apply the rules to your facts.
