Can I Write Off Wedding Expenses?
Short answer: No, weddings are personal, even if business contacts attend.
Gifts to charity in lieu of favors can be deductible.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
