Do yearly software 'subscriptions' like Adobe creative cloud count as office expenses?

and can I deduct this without the home office deduction?

Yes, you would just list those under Business Expenses.

You do not have to have the home office deduction to deduct software subscriptions or other expenses such as postage, office supplies, phone expenses, advertising, etc.

If the yearly subscription was mostly personal use, and a little for my job, can I deduct them at all?

If I used them solely for business related things, I can deduct the full cost?

Which category would software subscriptions go under?  Supplies, miscellaneous, or something else?

Should you list them under Business Expenses if you do have a home business?
