Deductions

Freelancers and consultants, small business owners – that is, independent contractors may have expenses that would lower their income to decrease the amount of tax owed. For example, do you work from home? Do you travel for business? Use your own car to travel to your job? Purchase items needed for work, such as clothing or computers? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be able to take these costs as deductions. We ask the proper questions to make sure you get the most from your expenses. Filing taxes can sometimes appear to be easy if you appear to have a straightforward return, but it’s best to consult with a professional to get the most of your paycheck.
