Can you write off LinkedIn Premium for freelance work?

Yes—LinkedIn Premium can often be deducted as a business expense for freelance work if you use it for your business, such as finding clients, networking, marketing, or bidding on freelance jobs.

The general rule is that business expenses are deductible only if they are ordinary and necessary for your trade or business.

A few practical points:

• If you use LinkedIn Premium mostly or entirely for freelance work, you can usually deduct the business-related cost.
• If you use it for both business and personal reasons, deduct only the business portion.
• Keep records, such as invoices and notes showing how the subscription supported your freelance work.

If you’re self-employed in the U.S., this would typically be reported on Schedule C as a business expense, but the exact line can depend on how you categorize it and how you prepare your return.

Important caveat: tax treatment can vary by country, state, and business structure, and rules can change. If some of your use is personal or related to a W-2 job search, check the current rules or ask a tax professional before claiming it.
