đź’° TAX DEDUCTIONS 101 đź’°
If you’re not tracking your deductions, you’re leaving money on the table!
A tax deduction reduces your taxable income — which means you could owe LESS and keep MORE of your hard-earned money. 🙌🏾
Here are some common deductions people miss every year:
📌 Self-Employed / Side Hustlers
• Home office expenses
• Supplies & equipment
• Internet & phone usage
• Mileage for business travel
• Marketing + business software
📌 Parents
• Childcare expenses
• Medical expenses
• Education costs
📌 Homeowners
• Mortgage interest
• Property taxes
• Certain home improvements (energy-efficient upgrades)
📌 General Deductions
• Charitable donations
• Medical & dental expenses
• State & local taxes
• Student loan interest
🔥 Pro Tip: Keep ALL receipts, notes, mileage logs, and records. IRS is tightening up on due diligence, so documentation is everything.
