What are tax write-offs for small businesses?

Tax write-offs are legitimate business expenses that may be deductible when they meet IRS rules for ordinary and necessary costs. Common areas include home office, vehicles, software, equipment, marketing, and industry-specific operating expenses.

How do I know if a business expense is a valid tax write-off?

Start with business purpose: the expense should be ordinary and necessary for your trade or business, and you should be able to document it (receipts, mileage/use logs, and the business reason).

What documentation should I keep for deductions?

Keep receipts/invoices, records showing business use, and any required support for the specific deduction (for example mileage logs for vehicle-related expenses). Strong, consistent documentation helps with audit readiness.
