Shownotes

This week Hunt discusses the differences in taxation of common expenses that you might not be aware of.

• What kind of meals am I allowed to deduct and how are in house meals different than meals offsite?

• How much of a deduction do I get if I donate my services to a charity or donate a piece of business equipment?

• Should I write off my life insurance premiums?

• What other classifications should I be aware of on my P&L that could effect my end of year taxes?
