      Cindy, what about saving receipts, totaling taxes and listing "other taxes paid"? Federal fuel tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents / gallon. My state tax / gallon is 25 cents / gallon. That means I spent over $160 federal and $180 state.

While taking a spreadsheet class in my early years, I discovered how the tax system works & realized what my father in law told me, “it’s not what you make that makes you rich, it’s what you keep”! Once I learned taxation, I became astute on my earnings & love calculation of my income & taxes now! Guess I should have become an accountant, eh?

The hard labor and maneuvering inside all of the boxes causes natural wear and tare. I have to replace my gloves, coats, and beanies.
    I also use non slip shoes and box cutter razors that need to be replaced, markers have their ink freeze, and I require new markers, and it come out of my pocket. My employer does not provide this stuff.
    Where is the question that says, keep your receipts and we will reimburse you. I can't find it.

      @@chrissmith4539 You should write off your milage instead of your gas cause that would be a better write off especially if you're driving more. You can also write off your insurance, credit card annual fee deductions, you can deduct the tax preparation fee, any headphones you use, ear phones, car yearly tags, any dues or subscriptions you have in relation to your job, you can deduct any advertisements,. I heard you can also deduct HALF of your self-employment tax as a tax deduction which is A LOT depending on which state you're in but A LOT for me here in california. If I were you, I would also put 6500 in an IRA account (traditional) which counts as a tax write off as well. 6500 is the max for now. That's all I can think of for now but honestly if you hire a good business tax attorney or accountant, they should give you more clues.

    Can someone explain to me what he started saying from 4:50 please?
    What i understood is the standard deduction is 12,900$ as a single person or use 1040 to itemize the deductions but only if we exceed that 12,900$ of deductions
    Does that mean we can benefit from as much deductions as we want ?
    And thank you in advance

      It’s very simple if you have more than 12900, itemize, if you have less take the standard deduction

    I'm retired from the military and also I get Social Security disability I am 63 years old I decided in 2022 to do eBay selling products.I sold over $3,000 or more on eBay so now the new law is that anything over $600 you have to report on your tax forms I have distributed money for Charities or finishes Goodwill stores so for even a small business owing a little bit of taxes can I do a tax write-off on that thank you for letting me know.

      You are supposed to report it no matter how much it is
      People think the first 600 is “free” it’s not
      If you sold 3000 you can deduct the original cost of what you sold plus other expenses incurred
