Up until the year 2017, we had a big change in all taxes, and people basically lost what was called the 2106 come 2018. That was where employees if you receive a W 2 and I can’t tell you how many tax returns I’ve seen where employees have created their own schedule C’s to deduct what they thought was a legitimate expense, but you’re not self-employed people. So if you’re an employee and you have deductions, they are not a tax deduction on your tax return. Only if you receive a 1099 and only the expense is tied to that 1099. If you need help call me at 615-367-0819.
