Jose’s Tax Service | Trusted. Transparent. Tax-Smart.
Introduction:
Running a small business is no small feat. Between managing employees, serving clients, and keeping operations smooth, taxes can often take a backseat. But here’s the deal: missing key deductions could cost your business thousands. At Jose’s Tax Service, we work with small business owners every day — and we see the same overlooked deductions again and again.
1. Home Office Deduction
If you use part of your home exclusively and regularly for your business, you may be eligible to deduct a portion of your rent, mortgage interest, utilities, and more.
✅ Bonus: You don’t need a separate room — just a dedicated workspace.
2. Mileage & Auto Expenses
Many business owners forget to track their mileage or vehicle expenses throughout the year. Whether you use the standard mileage rate or actual expense method, this deduction can add up fast — especially if you drive for client meetings, deliveries, or errands.
3. Phone and Internet Use
Do you use your personal cell phone or internet for business? You can deduct a reasonable percentage of those bills that directly support your business operations.
⚠️ Just be sure to document your business use with logs or invoices.
4. Professional Development
Courses, coaching programs, industry certifications, books, and even some travel costs for training are deductible if they relate to maintaining or improving your business skills.
5. Meals and Client Entertainment
You may deduct 50% of meals with clients, vendors, or business partners as long as the meeting has a business purpose. This also includes meals while traveling for business.
Common Mistake: Not Keeping Receipts
IRS rules require you to substantiate deductions, especially for meals, travel, and auto expenses. That means keep those receipts and track the business purpose of each expense.
