Keeping products I review is considered compensation

[AJ2025]

If I am using this product to review it and it is supplied to me as income I bought it to do my job since amazon vine program is saying it's compensation. can I write it off? If this is a business and I basically bought it since it was counted at full price as on my 1099 as compensation then this is not a free product and I bought it to do this job. So this would be a write off as long as I review it. I may have to use the product and update my reviews to make sure the product was of high quality. I got to wash it, wear it etc. If it's a cat treat I have to feed it to my cat then write reviews and updates about it. At the end of this review process I need to gather this up and then store it or donate it or throw it out.

I use every product given and I have to keep it for 6 months. Are these products supplies needed to do the job? I can't do the job without them.

No. You can’t deduct them
