Are you a business owner wondering what actually counts as a tax write-off in 2026? In this episode of The FI Guys, Chris and Dom break down the top tax deductions for business owners, including vehicle expenses, home office deductions, business meals, travel, marketing, software, insurance, and more. If you have ever heard someone say, “Just write it off,” but never explain what that actually means, this episode is for you. We cover the most common small business tax write-offs, where people tend to leave money on the table, and the mistakes that can create problems later. This is not about shady loopholes or guru nonsense. It is about understanding the basics, keeping clean records, and making smarter money decisions as a business owner. Whether you are self-employed, running an LLC, building a side hustle, or operating a growing small business, this conversation will help you better understand how tax deductions really work and how to think about them the right way. Watch to learn what may qualify, what gets misused, and why documentation is often more important than the deduction itself.
