Tax Mistakes That Cost Trades people Thousands

If you’re running a trades business, you know how to hustle. Long hours, tough jobs, and making sure your clients are happy.

It's all part of the game.

But what if that hard-earned money is lost because you’re overpaying in taxes?

The truth is, most trades business owners are leaving thousands of dollars on the table every year. Why? Because they’re missing key tax deductions, not structuring their business right, or simply not keeping track of their expenses properly.

Common Tax Mistakes That Cost You Big

Here are just a few ways you could be overpaying:
🔴 Not writing off all your vehicle expenses – Mileage, gas, and repairs can add up to huge tax savings.
🔴 Forgetting to expense tools and equipment – Every wrench, saw, and work boot you buy for your business should be working for you at tax time.
🔴 Overpaying self-employment taxes – Structuring your business correctly (like an S-Corp) can slash what you owe the IRS.
🔴 Missing deductions for your home office or storage unit – If you use part of your home for admin work, or pay for storage, you could be getting money back.

These are just a few of the red flags we see all the time when helping tradespeople clean up their books. And every dollar you miss is money you could be reinvesting in your business or taking home for yourself.
