Solved: Is the connects fee deductible on my taxes?

lplobinske · ‎03-26-2021

Hi. Sorry if this has already been answered, but I searched and searched and couldn't find any indication that it's been answered.

I attended an Upwork webinar on taxes a couple of years ago and it said that Upwork service fees were deductible on your taxes. I have in fact been deducting them. Now here's my question: Are the fees we now pay for Connects like the service fees with regard to my taxes? In other words, can I deduct them?

Thanks,

Yes, basically any expense related to your business is deductable. There might be some exceptions depending on your location, but Upwork connects are definitely included.
