The way to pay as little in taxes as possible is to take all the deductions that you can. This book shows you how that works and has more than 100 specific deductions, including commonly misunderstood deductions like home office, mileage, and travel. Perfect for the small (or even very very small) business owner who needs to know what's a valid deduction and what isn't. It's especially useful for businesses that provide services, such as massage therapists, yoga instructors, musicians, coaches, etc. If you'd rather let an accountant do it, the book also explains how to find an accountant that is a good fit for you and how to work with them most effectively. Keep as much of your business income as you can by taking all the deductions you're allowed. This book has been updated to represent tax changes through January 2018. It includes appendices with specific deductions for massage therapists, dog trainers, and horse trainers.
