Ask an Accountant

If I received a giftcard for my birthday and I bought business supplies with it, is the price of the business supplies tax deductible?

Answered by Keeper Staff ·

Absolutely! It doesn’t matter if the purchase is made with a personal account or card, any funds spent on business supplies qualify as a deduction.

Since the transaction won’t show up on your bank statement, be sure to hang on to the receipt so that the transaction isn’t forgotten at tax-time.
