Would you consider WebmasterWorld a "professional service"?

[sun818]

I am considering taking a deduction on taxes for the subscription fee I pay to WebmasterWorld under "professional service". It is DIY, but I am receiving advice from the top people in the industry. Or am I stretching the concept of "professional service" a bit far?

I think you could claim it as a training or educational material/resource.

Definitely a legitimate business expense. If you write off electric, internet access, etc - like I do :) which is perfectly fine & legal for your home office or what not, then the fee for this place most certainly qualifies!

Writing it off as "dues and subscriptions" here.
