VA Tax Guide 2026

Virtual Assistants work remotely and manage their own overhead costs. Since you work from home, the home office deduction is key.

VA Deductions

  • Home Office: A primary deduction for most VAs. Must be a dedicated space.
  • Internet/Phone: High-speed internet is a business necessity; deduct the business percentage.
  • Software: LastPass, Asana, Office 365, Zoom, and creative tools.
  • Training: Courses to learn new skills (e.g., SEO, bookkeeping, social media).
  • Subcontractors: If you hire other VAs to help you, their pay is deductible.

Common Questions

What is the best tax deduction for Virtual Assistants?

The Home Office Deduction is often the largest. If you have a dedicated workspace, you can deduct a portion of your rent and utilities.

Can I deduct my laptop?

Yes, if you buy a computer for your VA business, you can deduct the cost (either fully in one year or depreciated over time).

Do I need to send 1099s to my subcontractors?

Yes, if you pay any US-based subcontractor $600 or more in a year via cash/check/transfer (not credit card/PayPal), you must file a 1099-NEC for them.
