I am just giving you commonly missed tax deductions that my accountants run into):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 12pt;\">Not tracking mileage or travel costs <\/span>&#8211; Did you know that you can write off mileage, even if you have a side job? Also, did you know that, if done legitimately, you can write off family vacations? Yes, even Disneyland can be used as a legitimate business write-off!<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Not having the right business entity <\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>&#8211; This is a big one! I just had one of my clients save $10,000 a few weeks ago because of this ONE strategy! I have another client that is a leader in a direct sales company that I believe will save at least $25,000 this year because of this one thing! <br \/><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Hiring children <\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>&#8211; No, I&#8217;m not suggesting violating child labor laws. What I am talking about here is that your children can be paid for doing various jobs, such as marketing\/advertising, cleaning, and even modeling. It just has to be a reasonable wage for the work. Imagine paying your kids the same amount of money to cover their sports, hobbies, clothing, etc and it was all a write-off!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Home office <\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>&#8211; Some of you may do something similar, but if you have the right entity and structure in place, there are ways you can write off over $10,000 per year without lowering your pay, and not get taxed on it! That could be a tax savings of $2,000 &#8211; $5,000 per year while still taking home the same amount!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">These are just a few ideas that could work in your situation.
