Can You Write Off Zelle Payments?
Short answer: No, sending money by Zelle isn't a deduction; what matters is what the payment was for.
If you paid a contractor for business work, the expense may be deductible; keep invoices.
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.
