No, unfortunately, your credit card processing fee is not deductible. Also, only the portion of your property taxes based on the value is deductible.

Is this a recent ruling? I found citations from 2014 & 2016 from other reputable companies like Intuit, that indicated that the convenience fee *is* deductible.
