75+ Tax Deductions for Small Business

By Patricia A. Eldridge 1 year ago

You could save a bundle this year if you carefully consider your business expenses for all possible deductions for taxes. It’s not too late – if you get an Extension – till October !!!

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes”.

“The only difference between a Tax man and a Taxidermist is that they leaves the skin on.

`

“It is a good thing that we do not get as much government as we pay for.

“Income tax returns are the most imaginative ‘fiction’ being written today.

“There may be ‘Liberty & Justice for All’, but there are Tax Breaks only for some.

Definition of ‘Capital punishment’, Income Tax.”

“The politicians say ‘we’ can’t afford a Tax cut. Maybe we can’t afford the Politicians.

Many business owners take years to understand that Taxes are one of their biggest costs, and it really doesn’t take a lot of effort to make sure you aren’t missing something on your taxes.

Before setting forth the list of the top 75 deductions/strategies, allow me to make an important point: You are the Captain of your own ship. You don’t have to be an accountant to manage your accountant. Make sure you have a regular conversation with your Tax Preparer and discuss these items.

Your accountant should be suggesting these to you … and they should be trying to find ways to write-off expenses — not just telling you no and talking down to you. Use this list to make sure you have the right person helping you with your taxes.

Consider this list of 75 possible Tax Deductions for business owners. It’s just a start and not every one of these items is always a viable deduction, but certainly worth consideration.

Surprisingly, there isn’t some master list included in the Internal Revenue Code or provided by the Internal Revenue Service. There is simply the tax principle, set forth in Code Section 62, which states: “A valid write-off is any expense incurred in the production of income”. Each deduction then has its own rules.

A good CPA should be teaching their clients to think above the line — that is, your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) line. Your AGI is the number in the bottom right-hand corner on the front page of your tax return. Any tax return. And what I mean by thinking above this line is constantly trying to think of any and all personal expenses that may have a business purpose. With a small-business venture in your life and on your tax return, you may be able to convert some personal expenses to business expenses, as long as you have the proper business purpose for that expense.

Seasoned business owners become proficient over the years at keeping good records and realizing when expenses have a legitimate business purpose. For some, this thought process becomes so ingrained that it becomes almost impossible to buy something without first considering a tax purpose for that item or service.

Conclusion: try to Track every single expense related to your business and comb over them with your CPA at the end of the year to ensure you only take legitimate deductions. Good record keeping and thoughtful consideration will minimize your risk of an audit if the IRS ever comes knocking.

Comments: I don’t see how we cud hav missed any, but just in case ???
