Running a business is stressful enough—your taxes shouldn’t pile on more pressure. The good news is there are smart, legal strategies you can use right now to lower your tax liability for the year ahead.

Here are the top 5 ways Long Beach entrepreneurs can reduce their tax bill:

1. Track Every Expense (Yes, Every One)

Meals, mileage, supplies, software, equipment—missing receipts means missing deductions.

2. Set Up the Right Business Structure

Sole prop? LLC? S-Corp? The wrong structure could be costing you thousands in taxes.

3. Deduct Home Office Expenses Correctly

If you work from home, a portion of your rent, internet, utilities, and more can be deducted.

4. Take Advantage of Section 179

Small businesses can deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment the same year they purchase it.

5. Hire a Professional (Not Software)

DIY tax software is fine—until you grow. One mistake now can spiral into an IRS letter later.
