One thing to keep in mind: Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, for tax years 2018 through 2025, hobby expenses are not deductible at all.
Beginning in 2018 and lasting through 2025, miscellaneous itemized deductions are no longer deductible and therefore no hobby expense is able to reduce hobby income. If the IRS classifies your business as a hobby, you'll have to prove that you had a valid profit motive if you want to claim those deductions.
