Back in 2021 we purchased a brand new Superduty for our mowing business. We were able to write off half of the purchase that year and we were able to depreciate it for 4 more years. We also wrote off all fuel and maintenance on that truck as well. This saved us a bunch of money compared to cashing in our millage at 50-60 cents per mile. I have just recently learned that they passed a new law ( passed in the summer of 2023 ) Supposedly you can purchase a personal vehicle and you are able to write off the car note, insurance, fuel, maintenance etc ( if you can prove that the new purchase is used for more than half the time ( for business ) accordingly to the millage). Obviously you will have to document the millage every time you use the vehicle. You have the option to use ( millage ) OR ( use exspenses of the vehicle).
@@lawncarelife, If you have SEP, Traditional or Simple IRAs, you must roll those funds into a Solo, or your employer’s, 401(k) plan FIRST. You can’t have deductible (pre-tax) funds in any IRAs. You would need the Solo 401(k). Once you do this, you can make a non-deductible (after tax) contribution to a Traditional IRA, and then convert these to a Roth IRA. There is an IRS form that must be filled out correctly, to inform the IRS that these were non-deductible funds. They automatically assume these were deductible, and assume you owe taxes on the conversion.

In the last two weeks, they have both covered ways to decrease your business taxes 5 months ago they were both on Mat’s channel, discussing the advantages of a Solo 401(k) over a SEP IRA. Also, High income individuals and business owners can contribute to a Roth IRA, but not directly. You must do it through what’s called a “Backdoor Roth” contribution.

Good info! Tks!
Jason, Why were my comments removed? I thought you wanted tax savings info.
I'm not sure I saw your comment. What was it?

@Detectken thanks for the info. Like I said, I'm not a tax professional. I just do what my accountant tells me to do
