9 HUGE Tax Write Offs for Individuals (EVERYONE can use these)

[@cindywolph5051]

I'm an attorney tax preparer and I love your presentation--you seem to be as enthusiastic about trying to inform people/explain the tax system as I feel. Thank you for posting these videos!

[@LYFEAccounting]

Wow thanks so much, Cindy! Your comment is so meaningful considering it comes from another tax and legal professional. PINNED

[@starhollywood]

Medical bills?? Or receipts🧾 where I paid the medical bills ? To take the deduction?

[@deniseclark6056]

Thank you so much iam a new business owner just got registered with the Secretary of State in my hometown thank you so much I will be saving all your videos and watching you everyday I am a brand new entrepreneur business owner for men and women and children clothing and accessories I am scared half to death I never been a business owner in my life but I am ready to own my own time so I can leave a legacy for my two grandkids

[@rishz7857]

Cindy, what about saving receipts, totaling taxes and listing "other taxes paid"? Federal fuel tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents / gallon. My state tax / gallon is 25 cents / gallon. That means I spent over $160 federal and $180 state.

I’m not a CPA & love your insight into taxes! I am, however, an engineer & understand math. While taking a spreadsheet class in my early years, I discovered how the tax system works & realized what my father in law told me, “it’s not what you make that makes you rich, it’s what you keep”! Once I learned taxation, I became astute on my earnings & love calculation of my income & taxes now! Guess I should have become an accountant, eh?

[@stanpersful4723]

Great job. I deal with this on a daily and although I can't disclose what I do in the IRS, I know the struggle people deal with and you are very helpful explaining these. I just finished watching a video from another individual and he was so off base I pray nobody watched it. hehe.

I am a 56 year old single man. I live paycheck to paycheck and do live within my means. Not drowning in debt. For the last 2 years (21 & 22) I have a huge amount due that I cannot afford. I don’t own a home…I have no deductions other than standard. I have the maximum tax taken out of my paycheck by my employer. I feel screwed, for lack of a better word.

[@msairy8888]

That is the exact boat I’m in. The tax code is written to totally screw people in this position. Penalized for not being married. Penalized for not being a home owner. Penalized for PAYING your taxes!

[@markblanchard9049]

56 and no home no kids? Dude😢

[@SpeakerBuilder]

The Health Savings Account is a terrific tax deductible option, but it must be clear that in order to take advantage of this option, you have to have a high deductible health insurance plan, and most health insurance plans would not qualify as HDHP.

[@paulwoodson7912]

The heading suggest that you were going to discuss overlooked deductions. You switched to how our tax system works. Give me 9 overlooked write off, that’s it.

[@yosamuelee]

Great video! One thing I noticed though is that at 14:06, when mentioning the contribution limits for IRA vs 401K, I believe it needs to be corrected to $6,000/$7,000 for IRA VS $22,500/$30,000 for 401K. Thank you for posting this!

If james gets married later this year , he's in the 100% tax bracket - his wife will spend it all for him. Not a good move James..

[@talori5417]

So glad I found this channel! Very good information.

[@TH4Peace]

Well done! Facts & examples. Bravo!

[@SpeakerBuilder]

Your fist point is very important and easily explained. For all tax payers, the first 10K of taxable income is taxed at 10%, the next 30K is taxed at 12%, and the next 50K is taxed at 22%, etc. This is both progressive and equitable.

[@user-js3ee5qv6g]

Thank you for explaining EVERYTHING so clearly most others dont even cover the teachers allowance

[@pattygaye1]

It's important to realize this is for the 2021 tax return. There are changes for 2022 returns.

Love your videos however solar panel energy credit is a REFUNDABLE TAX CREDIT! One of my clients just got solar Panels installed on their roof of their town home and received an additional $6000 in refundable tax credit when I did their taxes! And you can also get credit for purchasing an electric vehicle too!

[@LYFEAccounting]

I wonder if your client got a state credit too? Because this is from the IRS Website “The residential energy property credit is non refundable. A nonrefundable tax credit allows taxpayers to lower their tax liability to zero, but not below zero.”

[@chrissmith4539]

I’m 1099 for door dash and so far I’m able to write off my cell phone bill, car wash, car insurance, car repairs and gas. If you learn of anymore write offs, please let me know 😎

[@pashaniane]

@@chrissmith4539 You should write off your milage instead of your gas cause that would be a better write off especially if you're driving more. You can also write off your insurance, credit card annual fee deductions, you can deduct the tax preparation fee, any headphones you use, ear phones, car yearly tags, any dues or subscriptions you have in relation to your job, you can deduct any advertisements,. I heard you can also deduct HALF of your self-employment tax as a tax deduction which is A LOT depending on which state you're in but A LOT for me here in california. If I were you, I would also put 6500 in an IRA account (traditional) which counts as a tax write off as well. 6500 is the max for now. That's all I can think of for now but honestly if you hire a good business tax attorney or accountant, they should give you more clues. :) lol

[@KEVINSURIEL]

Quick question so FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME on 1040 shows 51k but I had to pay close to 20k hows that even possible?

I have never understood why tax advisors recommend donations as a tax saving strategy. Yes, it’s commendable, but in your example, James donates $20,000 and saves less than $2000 in taxes. To me, he’s out $18,000 of income. How is that a positive benefit to James?

No one says you're making money by donating to charity. It's just reducing your tax liability.

One should not be forced to need a professional to file/explain the tax system to us. The tax system should be simplistic enough for all to understand and function within. The only reason our tax system is so complex is to allow government to interpret it the way they choose.
