You will be able to claim the expenses associated with your real estate business since you started your business.   

Here are some examples of the most common real estate agent and broker deductions:

• marketing expenses such as sales and open house signs and flyers, your website development and maintenance, and business cards and mailers
• real estate coaching, training, and education costs
• real estate licensing and renewal fees
• real estate association dues, multiple listing service (MLS) dues and brokerage desk fees
