Deduction radar

Deductions your books suggest you may be missing, with what to do about each.

Taxes → Deduction Radar.

Scans the year for deductions the books suggest are being left on the table, and for claims that will not survive scrutiny.

Typical findings: no home-office claim where the pattern of spending suggests one, mileage recorded but never claimed, expenses over the substantiation threshold with no receipt attached, and categories that look under-claimed against the rest of the year.

Each finding says what it found, what it is worth, and what to do — including the current simplified-method rate where one applies.

It suggests; it does not file, and it is not tax advice. A finding is a prompt to check with your preparer, not a decision.
