Small Business Tax Deductions Checklist

Whether you identify as a practitioner, coach, agency, solopreneur, consultant, small or medium-sized business owner, it can be challenging to find a comprehensive list of applicable business tax deductions!

As an Enrolled Agent licensed by the IRS, with 14+ years of specialization in small business tax strategy, I think every business deserves access to good business tax deduction information. Because I know that good business tax deduction education can easily make the difference in you paying thousands of more dollars in taxes every year that could instead be used to re-invest more into your business or compensate yourself better.

So today I’m sharing a list of 90+ business tax deductions for small and medium-sized business owners. Many of the deductions on this comprehensive checklist are often overlooked or not talked about, and I’m up for changing that!

To be able to write-off expenses in the most lucrative ways (reducing your taxes and ensuring you receive the highest personal benefits)… and to write these off in a way that will withstand a state or federal audit…  as a business owner, it’s worth investing some of your time and effort to understand:

1) Exactly how you can qualify for taking all the deductions possible, and

2) How to document what you’re doing in a way that is accepted by the IRS. 

Because not only will this keep you, your business and your money safe, but you’ll likely learn how to write-off far more than you thought was possible (in a totally ethical way that doesn’t take too much of your time no less).

On that note… if you download the checklist and decide you’d like some help maximizing your business tax deductions, I want to mention I have a self-paced online program, Business Tax Deduction Clinic, that can help you do exactly that! (And, if you’re looking for custom accelerated tax strategy, I also offer tax strategy services and would love to speak with you.)
