Track equipment, travel, and studio expenses. Maximize your photography business deductions.
As a photographer, you have significant tax deduction opportunities that many miss. From camera equipment and lenses to travel for shoots and editing software subscriptions, your business expenses can add up to thousands in tax savings. AlphaTax helps you capture every deductible expense so you keep more of what you earn.
These are the most common deductions photographers can claim. AlphaTax tracks these automatically.
Equipment over $2,500 can be fully deducted in year one using Section 179, or depreciated over time.
Track every mile—at 70¢/mile (2025), driving 10,000 business miles = $7,000 deduction.
