guides

what you can actually write off

Plain-English tax guides for people who work for themselves, written by a bookkeeper and QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor. No jargon, no fluff — the deductions you have, the Schedule C line each one goes on, and the ones that get disallowed.

hairstylist & barber tax deductions

Booth rent, color and product, shears, education, mileage — the full write-off list for booth renters, suite owners, and independent barbers. Plus the ones people get wrong.

massage therapist tax deductions

Room rent, table and linens, oils, laundry, CE hours, ABMP dues, outcall mileage — and the gift-certificate rule that catches people out. Includes the 1099-vs-employee question.

Knowing the list is half of it. Sorting a year of transactions is the other half. kade reads your bank or card statement and puts every charge on the right Schedule C line — nothing to log. Your first statement is free.

These guides are general information for Schedule C filers in the United States. They aren't tax advice for your situation, and rules change — check with a qualified tax professional for anything you're unsure about.
