      Cindy, what about saving receipts, totaling taxes and listing "other taxes paid"? Federal fuel tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents / gallon. My state tax / gallon is 25 cents / gallon. That means I spent over $160 federal and $180 state.

While taking a spreadsheet class in my early years, I discovered how the tax system works & realized what my father in law told me, “it’s not what you make that makes you rich, it’s what you keep”! Once I learned taxation, I became astute on my earnings & love calculation of my income & taxes now! Guess I should have become an accountant, eh?

      @pashaniane Год назад

      @@chrissmith4539 You should write off your milage instead of your gas cause that would be a better write off especially if you're driving more. You can also write off your insurance, credit card annual fee deductions, you can deduct the tax preparation fee, any headphones you use, ear phones, car yearly tags, any dues or subscriptions you have in relation to your job, you can deduct any advertisements,. I heard you can also deduct HALF of your self-employment tax as a tax deduction which is A LOT depending on which state you're in but A LOT for me here in california. If I were you, I would also put 6500 in an IRA account (traditional) which counts as a tax write off as well. 6500 is the max for now. That's all I can think of for now but honestly if you hire a good business tax attorney or accountant, they should give you more clues.

    If I was to pay for a online monthly subscription to a financial group that my business can definitely benefit from will that be tax deductible if I use it with my business credit card

    I invested in a Roth IRA for the 2022 tax year, but for some reason i didnt get any money deducted whenever i filed the amount. I contributed about $3800.
    Edit: Is it only for specific IRA accounts, like a traditional or 401k?

    Dumb question, but for Medical Expenses, can I claim them even if it was 100% paid by insurance?
