Working from a coffee shop

$5-$15/day

Can You Write Off Working From a Coffee Shop?

Short answer: Your coffee isn't deductible just because you work there; Wi-Fi charges and a coffee bought during a client meeting are.

Business meals are 50% deductible when there's a business purpose; ordinary lunches while working locally are personal.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
