What are tax deductions and tax liabilities?
One effective tax planning strategy that small business owners can employ to minimize their tax liability is through careful consideration of tax deductions. Tax deductions are expenses that can be subtracted from your total taxable income, reducing the amount of income that is subject to taxation. By taking advantage of these deductions, you can effectively lower your overall tax liability and keep more of your hard-earned money. Tax liability is simply the amount of money or debt that an individual or entity owes the government.
There are several common tax deductions available for small business owners in Orange County. An example of a tax deduction is the home office deduction, which allows business owners who use a portion of their home exclusively for business purposes to deduct expenses related to that space. This deduction can include a percentage of rent or mortgage interest, utilities, and even repairs and maintenance costs. If you use your car to go on business meetings, then what you pay for gas is also tax deductible. Reporting these deductions correctly results in tax cuts, which decreases the amount you owe to the government for the tax year.

How to maximize your tax credit?
A tax credit is the amount taxpayers claim on their tax returns to reduce the income tax they owe the government. Qualified individuals can reduce what they owe and potentially increase their tax refund.
Tax credits are important to maximize your tax benefits. Common tax benefits include deductions, exclusions, credits and shelters. A Tax deduction is an incentive to deduct your taxable income taking into account all your expenses incurred to produce additional income. Reporting this correctly on your tax return can reduce your tax bill and increase your tax benefits.
