Can we deduct our time? Started a coaching/consulting business in May 2018. The first 10 clients we took care of pro bono. Can we write off that time?

We charge per hour, and per product produced.

Deductions & credits

Unfortunately, no. Your own time and labor are never deductible. If you gave away any products for free, you can include them as a promotional expense.
