🚫 MYTH:
“Self-employed people barely have deductions.”
✅ REALITY:
Many business owners are paying taxes on money they legally didn’t need to.
If you are self-employed, deductions may include:
✔ Mileage
✔ Home Office
✔ Startup Costs
✔ Advertising
✔ Office Supplies
✔ Insurance
✔ Loan Interest
✔ Medical Premiums
✔ Gifts
✔ Commissions
✔ Equipment Rental/Lease
✔ Subscriptions
✔ Internet & Phone
✔ Business Travel
✔ Tools & Supplies
✔ Training & Education
✔ Equipment Depreciation
✔ Dog Security Expense 🐕
📌 The problem usually isn’t the IRS.
It’s:
❌ poor organization
❌ lack of strategy
❌ or preparers who never explain the options
Many tax preparers only input numbers.

💡 Because one missed deduction repeated for years becomes a lot of lost money.
