As an African American woman, I write off the cost of hair products and hairstyles I wear that are considered " presentable" to the corporate world...
Oooo edgy
You are smart !
If real estate agents can write off their porsches because it’s required to be presentable and exude an image of success required for their business success I don’t see why u can’t write off ur hair expenses that is needed to look presentable. I see it as the same as uniform expenses lol. Of u are a beauty guru on UA-cam if write off everything and anything that goes on ur face haha. No joke.

Awesome!!
@@larecashon6759 Only GOD is AWESOME! 🌄
@@francevenezia Yes He is!! Thanks for the short version of the business taxes though! 👍🏽
Was looking for this! Much appreciated
If you visit (drive) your bank everyday, walk in, ask about your balance, sometimes products there, that is technically a business expense.
Then you drive to a newsstand to buy the Wall Street Journal, which you need to learn about business climate. Sometimes you go to the bookstore too look at business books.
There is nothing in the IRS rules that says you have be efficient and do it online.
Then on the way, nothing stops you from doing personal errands while you are there. This is all business mileage.
The boss requires food in order to do work.
This is true. Now delete ur comment so u don’t get the wrong attention lol

@@LYFEAccounting YEs I aM :) SUbSCribEd
Great video!!! Can you go a little more in detail on Goods Sold tax write offs? You mention raw materials, labor, storage, and factory overhead cost can be written off but the example you gave was only the item cost, do we have to choose which of the 5 we want to write off or can they be combined, or is it expected that the cost of the item sold would account for all of those things? Just confused sorry. Also how would storage and overhead factory costs be deducted?
I loved your videos. I subscribed today and I was taking notes. We small businesses appreciate the information.
Meanss alot to hear that. Thanks for the sub!

Hi! Thank you for this video! Question:
Can you write off something you bought before you started your business?
Does the purchase have to come out of a business acct under your business name I order to be considered a write off?
I just discovered this videos and i love them! I am a new Realtor and I closed 1 deal in 2021. There are also of fees associated with a real estate license and I am glad to know I can deduct these expenses. The recaps at the end of the videos is helpful.
Excellent. Easy to follow, and great presentation.
Amazing tips! Thank you so much
I hired my kids to help me and I'll be deducting their labor fees!
Smart thinking
@Maggie Bella, how do I do that?
My accountant strongly advised me NOT to use my adult kids as any form of “work/business “ write off. I’ve herd others putting family on payroll but I don’t want issues so I won’t.
@@michaelreszke3804 my kids are 16 and 13 not adults.
@@lsuarez0202 sorry just now seeing your question. Talk to your CPA to get more accurate information but that's what was suggested to me.
Thank you my guy this was super helpful. I wish my tax account was this good. He seems to not really care but I can't switch because I have been with his office since I started my business.
Glad you enjoyed it, share it with your accountant!
Love this video. It was very helpful. Just perfect ☺️
Thank you so much for the information! You’re a wealth of knowledge !
Great video. I'm wondering why I pay my accountant. She has never mentioned any of these things to me. Thank you for the information : )
Thanks for watching!
Best tax write off video there is for people looking to start a business and be on top of taxes from day one. Really well done.
I appreciate that! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing!!!

Excellent video. Eloquent concise delivery. Thank you.
Such a helpful channel! Idk where I’d be right now. Thank you!!!
Man, I'm new to this but this video has really opened my eyes.
So glad it is
I believe you can contribute up to $57,000 into a traditional retirement savings plan … tax free. That’s trick, but that could really lower your taxable income. Look
Into it more, specifically an LLC vs S Corp
Great video! I am a new e-commerce business owner. Just about have everything up and ready to run and make my first sale. I figured it would be a good idea to look into this side of things before I get deep into making sales and providing services.
Love it. The earlier you start, the better.
Hello, this video is magic! Thank you for explaining all the complex bits so nicely! I have a question, where does one input deductions if you are a sole propieter and also do you have to attach receipts of these deductions upon filing. Are deductions simply deducted from gross pay? Which forms are relevant to deductions for a sole proprieter tax from? Thank you!
I love how you guys always use examples!! keep it up.
Definitely, appreciate the comment
Thank you for the info, great video!
Thanks for your feedback! Glad you liked it :)
Great stuff, I was wondering about writing off utilities. My business uses my basement and garage and uses more than half of my utilities. Its probably twice as much space as my house, but none of my houses square feet, can I write off some of it or no? What about property tax? Thanks for that video, I learned some stuff.
Actually I'm going to subscribe, I bet I can find the answer somewhere on your videos. I'm going to watch your new home office one now. Thanks again
TY for the tips !
Great information, you super helped me catch some items I did not know I could claim when filing my taxes.
As a tax preparer I have been doing so and want to thank you for opening up this subject for those who are unaware of these benefits. Most contractors have no idea on taxes. I believe 30% of contractors do not file tax returns and come to me after seven or more years to help them. Even after hel;ping them, they fail to pay up even small amount of tax dues and then blame others.
Thank you for your comment, Kishore. I've had my share of experiences with contractors as well.
The reason contractors don't file an income tax return is because they prefer to get paid in cash.That is why they charge less than a licensed contractor.People hire them because it is cheap labor.
They should be in prison
Be sure to check with your financial advisor since there are certain advantages and disadvantages based on the type of business entity you are using.
Right! Or account or lawyer :)

Once again another fantastic video and thank you for taking your time and your Professional Knowledge to pass it on to small business owners like myself who self educating themselves and remember the best investment is investing in yourself thank you for the free content Ohio Harley E9
Thanks again!
What kind of small business do you operate Harley ?
Appreciate the knowledge bruh! Love the intellect.
I enjoyed the video and thank you so much for the tips!
Hey, im doing an online dropshipping business. As you know we dont need any specific place/ office to do that. As long as we have an internet connection. I'm looking forward to buy a house for myself. So can I write it off as my business expenses since i can just do my work from home? Please answer. Btw english is not my first language, i hope u understand my question.
I understand this is an older video, but since it’s on the very topic of my concern, how far back can one go to refill on their tax returns? For example, like your construction client, who has been erroneously filing his returns, how far back (in years) did you go to re-file (amend) his returns?
I believe it’s only 3 years
Awesome video will continue to follow you!!
Awesome content! Thank you!

@DJ WarMachine Or you could change the speed settings of your videos. Instead of being a dick.
These people create free and helpful videos. Be glad you don't have to purchase DVDs or audiobooks to learn this information.
The problem is you’re TOO TALENTED for you own good. If you have less time than courtesy, just go and pay a CPA. Don’t waist your time watching free UA-cam
It’s not like he doesn’t have time stamps in the description.🙄 And the warm-up was nothing compared to how RICH the content was!
