Can I write off Amazon Prime if I use it for client orders?

Generally, yes — but only the business-use portion of Amazon Prime may be deductible if you use it for client orders.

• If the membership is used exclusively for business, the full fee is often treated as an ordinary and necessary business expense.
• If it’s a mixed-use membership, you should allocate a reasonable business percentage and deduct only that part.
• A simple rule like “60% of orders are business, so 60% of the fee is deductible” may be a starting point, but the allocation should reflect actual business use and be supported by records.

Practical points

1. Keep documentation: save invoices, order history, and notes showing which purchases were for clients.
2. Report it on the business return: sole proprietors commonly claim the business portion on Schedule C; partnerships and S-corps generally deduct it on the business return.
3. Use a tax professional if the use is mixed: the right allocation can depend on how the account is used and your entity structure.

If you use Amazon Prime partly for client orders and partly for personal shopping, the safest approach is to deduct only the clearly business-related portion and keep records to support it.
