Documentation tips

-   Carro's monthly subscription fees are fully deductible as ordinary SaaS business expenses under IRC §162.
-   The 5% transaction fee charged on sales generated through Carro is also a deductible cost of goods sold or selling expense — ensure it is coded separately from the subscription fee in your books.
-   If Carro fees are directly tied to generating revenue (e.g., enabling dropship sales), they may be classifiable as cost of revenue rather than G&A — coordinate with your accountant for proper classification.
-   Retain monthly Carro invoices and transaction reports to substantiate both subscription and per-transaction fee deductions.
-   If your Carro usage spans both business and personal e-commerce activity, allocate only the business-use portion for deduction purposes.
