Running a business means juggling a hundred things — but missing out on tax deductions shouldn’t be one of them. 👀
If you’ve ever asked, “Can I write this off?” — this one’s for you.
Here are 7 everyday deductions that might surprise you and save you money come tax season! 💰💼
1️⃣ Your Phone 📱
If you use your phone for business calls, scheduling, or emails — it’s deductible!
Just keep track of your business vs. personal use (hint: QuickBooks or your phone bill can help).
2️⃣ Coffee for Clients ☕
Meeting with a client at Starbucks? That cup of motivation is a business expense.
💡 Tip: jot down who you met with and the purpose right on the receipt or in your accounting app.
3️⃣ Professional Memberships 💳
Groups like your local Chamber of Commerce, business networks, or professional associations?
Yep — those membership fees are deductible because they help grow your business network and knowledge. 🤝
4️⃣ Business Meals 🍽️
Whether you’re treating a client or grabbing a working lunch with your team,
you can generally deduct 50% of business meals — just make sure it’s work-related and properly documented.
5️⃣ Courses & Education 🎓
Did you take a course to sharpen your skills or level up your business?
That’s deductible too! Tax courses, business webinars, or certifications all count toward your professional growth.
6️⃣ Postage & Shipping 📦
Sending out packages, client documents, or branded merchandise?
Those shipping costs, envelopes, and mailing supplies are all deductible business expenses.
7️⃣ Website & Software 💻
Your website hosting fees, email tools, bookkeeping software, or CRM apps —
all of these are legitimate deductions that keep your business running smoothly.
💡 Final Tip: Keep digital records of all your receipts, even the small ones. The IRS loves proof — and your accountant (that’s me 👋🏽) will love you for staying organized.
Stop leaving money on the table.
If you’re not sure what counts as deductible, it’s time for a tax check-up!
