Can You Write Off Sewing Machine?

Short answer: Yes for seamstresses, alteration shops, and Etsy sellers making products; hobby sewing isn't deductible.

Sergers and industrial machines qualify the same way.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt, proof of payment, and a note or log showing business use; for mixed-use items, track the business percentage.
