Wall Street Journal subscription

$5-$40/mo

Is a Wall Street Journal Subscription Tax Deductible?

Short answer: Usually no: Wall Street Journal subscription is personal entertainment, unless you review it, use it to make content, or play licensed music in a business.

Creators who cover streaming, music, or games professionally can deduct the business share. Personal streaming at home isn't deductible.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt or invoice and an estimate of business-use percentage.
