Purchasing Tax Software - Business or Personal purchase
I currently have a single investment property that was in full use for 2019 that was in an LLC. I will be doing my own taxes as I have for the past 10+ years and will be using TurboTax as the software. My question is the following: Is the cost of purchasing the tax software a business expense or a personal expense?

Purchasing something from a business account does not make it a deductible expense. Otherwise, I'd be buying cat food from my business account.
@Jake Hottenrott is technically correct, however the amounts are so small that it may not be worth splitting the hairs. If you deduct the full cost of TT under business, it won't be the crime of the century.
