Thank you for the quick response. So in my case, I work full time as a software engineer but I have my real estate license. I pay association dues and fees to my broker but I didn't have any RE income this year but will have some in 2024. So I can pay those dues this year and write it off my 2023 SE income instead of waiting until Jan 1st to pay them so I can write it off of the RE income? @SusanY1
