Maximizing Deductions: 10 Common Expenses You May Be Overlooking

When it comes to tax time, many individuals and businesses are missing out on valuable deductions that could reduce their taxable income. While most are aware of common deductions like office supplies or mileage, there are several other expenses that may slip through the cracks. Identifying these overlooked deductions could save you more than you realize.

1. Home Office Expenses – If you work from home, you can deduct a portion of your rent or mortgage, utilities, and even internet bills. Ensure you're using a dedicated space for business to qualify for this deduction.

7. Depreciation – Items such as office furniture and computers can be depreciated over time, allowing you to deduct a portion of their cost each year.

8. Vehicle Expenses – Whether using your vehicle for client meetings or service calls, a portion of your car’s costs—like fuel and maintenance—may be deductible.

9. Interest on Business Loans – If you’ve borrowed money for business purposes, interest payments can be written off.
