Maximize Deductions: Track Receipts & Invoices

How Many Expenses Can a Small Business Owner Deduct on Their Tax Return?

For a small business owner, or someone who is otherwise self-employed (receiving IRS Form 1099 and/or filing a schedule C with your IRS Form 1040), the best thing you can do to maximize your tax deductions and reduce your tax obligations is to get organized and treat your receipts and invoices more like cash rather than trash. Every $100 in business expenses could be worth up to $50 when it comes time to file your taxes (depending on your tax bracket.) Keeping track of your business expenses by hanging-on to your receipts, designate a place in your wallet, purse and your car can keep everything handy so you can easily transfer your pile of receipts to your accounting files to be way ahead of the game when tax season rolls around!
