Business Travel Expense Deductions – Did You Know?

If you have business income, including earnings from self-employment activities like freelance, independent contract or gig economy work, you may be able to deduct business travel expenses on your tax return. In general, the expenses must relate to travel by you or one of your employees for business (not personal) purposes. The expenses also cannot be extravagant; they should be ordinary and necessary for your trade or business.

Potentially deductible expenses may include:
- Air, train or bus fare, or costs associated with traveling by personal or company car
- Fares (including tips) for taxi or rideshare services between an airport or train station and a hotel, or between a hotel and a work location
- Shipping costs for baggage, display materials or product samples
- Expenses (including tips) for lodging, meals, dry cleaning or laundry services
- Communication costs, such as business mobile phone service roaming charges

The IRS requires business travelers to maintain detailed records of all deductible expenses. A business tax professional can help you identify and document your eligible business travel expenses, so that you can claim your full deduction while staying within the rules.

Summer Income Tax Reminder - Did You Know? (2/2)

Americans of all ages with summer income from self-employment may need to pay estimated tax on a quarterly basis in order to avoid IRS penalties. Alternatively, if you have self-employment earnings but also work as an employee, the IRS Withholding Estimator tool (link below) can help you determine the correct withholding amount to cover your income and self-employment tax responsibilities.

You may also qualify to reduce your tax by deducting business expenses. A tax professional can help you comply with record keeping requirements, and fully prepare for any tax implications of your summer endeavors.

Summer Income Tax Reminder - Did You Know? (1/2)

Students and other people who earn summer income, including gig economy and other self-employment income, should prepare now for potential federal tax obligations.

They may normally have taxes withheld from their paychecks by their employer after filling out a Form W-4. However, if the job is regarded as self-employment, like baby-sitting or lawn care can be, they should keep good records of all expenses to help maximize potential deductions.

In the case of lawn care, potential deductible expenses may include business cards, fliers, fuel, equipment rentals, chemicals, work mileage, etc.

In addition, minors and young adults with self-employment earnings (including gig economy income) of at least $400 must file a federal tax return and may owe self-employment tax in addition to federal income tax. A tax professional can help advise on potential deductible expenses and required tax filings.

Business Accessibility Tax Credits – Did You Know?

The IRS offers a variety of tax benefits for businesses that improve accessibility for people with disabilities and/or hire workers with disabilities. Small businesses with 30 or fewer full-time employees and annual revenues of $1 million or less may qualify to claim the Disabled Access Credit. The maximum credit amount is 50% of the cost of access improvements such as ramps, automatic doors and interpretive services like braille signage or audio interfaces.

Businesses of all sizes may also qualify for the Barrier Removal Tax Deduction. This program enables businesses to deduct up to $15,000 a year for eligible expenses to remove barriers that make it difficult for people with disabilities and the elderly to move around facilities. Ordinarily, businesses must depreciate such construction costs over a number of years.

In addition, businesses that hire veterans, workers with disabilities or other people who traditionally face obstacles to employment may qualify for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. This credit may amount to as much as 40% of a qualifying employee's first-year wages.

A business tax professional can help you develop a strategy to take advantage of all the tax benefits available for boosting the accessibility of your business.
