What are tax write-offs?

First of all, A tax write-off is an expense that can be deducted from your taxable income. This lowers the amount of taxes you owe, resulting in a tax break. There are many different types of expenses that can be considered tax write-offs, and the eligibility depends on the country or region you live in. For example, in the United States, some common tax write-offs include IRA contributions, charitable donations, and medical expenses.

To claim a write-off, you will typically need to have receipts or other documentation to prove the expense. Keep in mind that not all expenses can be written off, so it’s important to do your research before claiming any deductions.

Overall, tax write-offs can save you a significant amount of money each year, so it’s worth taking the time to learn more about them. Let us help!
