🚨 TAX MYTH #2: “If I’m self-employed, I can write off everything I paid for.”

❌ False.

Deductions must be:
• Ordinary
• Necessary
• Directly related to business income

Personal expenses don’t magically become business write-offs because you’re self-employed. Improper deductions are one of the top reasons Schedule C returns get reviewed.

💎 Write-offs reduce taxes, but wrong write-offs create audits.
