As an audio engineer i have multiple subscriptions annually related to the variety of software i need to do my job. What's the best way i can write those off since some of them are monthly or annual subs?

If you’re a W-2 employee, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act you won’t be able to deduct unreimbursed business expenses on your federal return, but you may be able to deduct them on your state return. There are exceptions if you’re an armed forces reservist, qualified performing artist, or fee-basis government official.

Refer to the TurboTax article Are Unreimbursed Employee Expenses Deductible? for more information.

If you’re an independent contractor, you can deduct your subscriptions on your Schedule C.

Refer to the TurboTax article Where do I enter Schedule C? for navigation instructions.
