- Etsy listing, transaction, payment-processing, and Offsite Ads fees
- Postage, boxes, mailers, and other shipping materials
- Tools and equipment used to produce inventory

- Product photography props, lighting, and editing software
- Craft-fair booth fees and related selling costs
- The work-use share of internet and software subscriptions
Categories the IRS treats as ordinary and necessary for this kind of work. Whether a specific expense qualifies depends on the facts and on contemporaneous records — the deduction finder totals your own figures without keeping them.

For 2026, payment apps and online marketplaces are required to issue Form 1099-K only when payments for goods or services exceed $20,000 across more than 200 transactions — the pre-2021 rule reinstated by the One Big Beautiful Bill. A platform may still send one below that level. In 2024 a transition threshold of $5,000 applied under IRS Notice 2024-85 before the higher rule returned, which is why some sellers received forms that year and not since.
