If a twitch streamer eats on stream can they write the food off as a tax expense?
Main Post: If a twitch streamer eats on stream can they write the food off as a tax expense?
Top Comment: Probably. Business expenses need to be ordinary and necessary : To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your trade or business. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your trade or business. An expense does not have to be indispensable to be considered necessary. If the food were eaten during the stream and were part of the entertainment value of the stream, I don't see why it couldn't be expensed.
