Tax Deductions - What Can I Deduct On My Taxes?
What Can I Deduct?
Business Expenses - If you're a small business owner, self-employed, or even a underground contractor, these deductions can be super powerful.
1. The first thing you need to do is deduct your transportation costs. Let's use an example to expound this. Let's say that I'm a cable repairman and on mean I drive at least 50 miles a day. Well, guess what? You get to deduct your gasoline expenses as a tax deduction. And not only that, but you can also deduct the expenses incurred for your vehicle's maintenance.
2. Another remarkable tax deduction is that of deducting your office supplies and equipment. This includes pencils, pens, paper, log books, filing cabinets, computers, printers, ink, and yes even tools. So, if you're a "cable repairman" that means things like wire stripers, electrical type, signal meters, screwdrivers, etc.
Home Owners - These deductions can offer major relief for most Americans.
1. I know this is going to seem like an positive tax deduction, but you'd be surprised to know that some habitancy forget to take advantage of it. And that is to deduct the interest on your home mortgage.
2. Here's one that's unique. You can receive a tax deduction for improvements that are made to your home. Things like adding vinyl siding, positive landscape improvements, or even protection systems. But remember, these improvements have to add value to your home.
College Students - These will make you well happy.
