Is my Figma subscription deductible?

Yes — software subscriptions used for business are fully deductible under IRC § 162. Since Figma is a design tool you use to earn income, the full subscription cost qualifies. Keep the receipt and document the business use.

Sample conversations

U

Can I deduct my home office if I work from home full time?

Z

Yes — if you use a dedicated space exclusively and regularly for business, you can deduct it under IRC § 280A. You can use either the simplified method ($5/sq ft, max 300 sq ft) or the regular method (actual expenses × business-use %). The regular method typically yields a larger deduction for homeowners.

U

I drove 4,200 miles for client visits this year. What's my deduction?

Z

At the 2025 IRS standard mileage rate of $0.67/mile, 4,200 business miles = $2,814 in deductions. Make sure you have a mileage log with dates, destinations, and business purpose for each trip. Zentro can track and document this automatically.

U

Should I elect S-Corp status?

Z

S-Corp election can save significant self-employment tax once net profit consistently exceeds ~$50,000. You pay yourself a reasonable salary (subject to payroll taxes) and take remaining profit as distributions (not subject to SE tax). The savings can be $5,000–$15,000+ per year, but there are compliance costs — payroll, separate returns, state fees. Worth analyzing at your income level.
