Deductions as a Teacher on Outschool

I'm a teacher on Outschool.  I have two questions:

1.  I offer coupon codes and refunds all the time to market my business in Facebook groups.  Can I deduct the amount of the coupons redeemed from my taxes?

 

2.  Outschool takes 30% of all my earnings in fees.  Can I deduct the 30% fees from my taxes?

Thanks!

Deductions as a Teacher on Outschool

1. As a self-employer teacher, you can deduct the redeemed coupons as a business expense under Advertising

 

2. Fees charged by Outschool are deductible if they pay the gross revenue and you pay them 30% fees. 

 

If they deduct the fees and pay you the net amount, then you report the amount received and do not deduct the fees.
