We are officially in Q4. Three months left in 2026. And this is the time to pay attention to your expenses because every legitimate deduction you miss between now and December 31st is money you are handing back to the IRS for free. So let me ask you — do you actually know what is deductible and what is not? Here is a quick breakdown of what most online business owners can write off — ✅ Home office — if you have a dedicated space used regularly and exclusively for business ✅ Phone and internet — the business use portion ✅ Software and subscriptions — Canva, Zoom, email platforms, scheduling tools, project management ✅ Education and courses — anything that improves skills for your current business ✅ Marketing and advertising — paid ads, graphics, branding ✅ Contractor and VA payments — anyone you pay to help run your business ✅ Equipment — computers, cameras, microphones used for business ✅ Business meals — 50% deductible when there is a clear business purpose And here is the rule behind all of it — the IRS says a business expense must be ORDINARY and NECESSARY. Common in your industry and helpful for running your business. But here is the catch — You have to be able to PROVE it. A receipt. A bank statement. Something that shows it happened. The IRS does not care what you meant to track. They care what you can document. So for the next three months — track every business expense. Save every receipt. Label everything as you go. January you will thank yourself. 🔥 What write offs are you unsure about? Drop your questions in the comments — happy to help! 👇

Let’s talk about write offs because there is SO much confusion around this topic. 💫 Most people either write off things they should not be claiming OR they miss deductions they are completely entitled to. Both are expensive mistakes. So here is the IRS rule that guides everything — A business expense must be ORDINARY and NECESSARY to be deductible. Ordinary means it is common in your industry. Necessary means it is helpful and appropriate for your business. That is it. That is the whole rule. Here are some write offs most online business owners are missing — 📌 Your home office — if you have a dedicated workspace used regularly and exclusively for business 📌 Your phone and internet — the business use portion 📌 Software and subscriptions — Canva, Zoom, your email platform, scheduling tools 📌 Courses and education — anything that improves your skills for your current business 📌 Your computer and equipment — if used for business 📌 Contractor and VA payments — anyone you pay to help run your business 📌 Advertising and marketing — paid ads, graphic design, branding The key to claiming any of these? 🔥 You have to have a record of it. A receipt. A bank statement. Something that proves the expense happened. The IRS does not care what you meant to track. They care what you can prove. So track it. Save it. Label it. And never leave a legitimate deduction on the table again. Drop in the comments — which of these write offs did you not know about? I want to know! 👇🌿
