Etsy has a "payment processing fee" deducted from the total payment(including shipping) from customer. Does this qualify as a deductible?

Etsy has a "payment processing fee" deducted from the total payment(including shipping) from customer. Does this qualify as a deductible?

Yes, this qualifies as a deduction.  It is similar to fees that banks charge to process credit card payments.  You can call it bank charges, payment processing fees, or any other reasonable description. 

To enter this expense:

  • Log into your TurboTax return:
  • Click on Federal
  • Click on Income and Expenses
  • Click the button beside your Self-Employment Info
  • Under your income are the expenses.  If you need other categories click on “Add expenses for this work”
  • Scroll to Less common expenses and click on the drop down
  • Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen and click on  "Other miscellaneous expenses"
  • Click Continue
  • Enter a description and the amount you were charged.  (See the screenshot below)
  • Click Continue - this will bring you back to your (name of business) info
