Here are five simple ways to save money on taxes as a small business owner:

  • Claim Your Deductions: Track expenses such as office supplies, travel, marketing, home office use, and vehicle costs, and watch your taxable rate go down.

  • Maximize Retirement Contributions: Boost your savings and reduce taxable income with SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, or Solo 401(k) plans.

  • Leverage Depreciation: Use Section 179 or bonus depreciation to write off big purchases like equipment.

  • Structure Your Business Smartly: Consider switching to an S-Corp or LLC to reduce self-employment taxes.

  • Work with a Professional: A CPA or tax expert can find personalized savings that fit your business.
