So I found pub 538 that says 12 month rule. Does that mean if the subscription goes over 12 months it has to be prorated?
All of these so-called "tax experts" have no idea what they are talking about. They really should NOT be answering questions that they don't know.
As you pointed out, your expense covers more than 12 months. That means you need to prorate the amount, and only deduct the portion that applies to 2021.
