## Resource

Let’s be honest… taxes aren’t exactly everyone’s favorite topic. But what if understanding them could actually feel empowering? This week on Simply Authentic , we sit down with owner of Jenkins CPA, Heather Jenkins , to break down tax law in a way that actually makes sense. Whether you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or living that 1099 life, this conversation is packed with practical advice you can use immediately. Heather simplifies: How to properly track expenses (and why weekly tracking saves you headaches later) When you need to itemize — and when you don’t What deductions you can legally take What to write on receipts to protect yourself Why you need to keep receipts for 7 years The rule on assets over $2,500 and depreciation What to know before claiming a home office deduction We cover the gamut — especially for independent contractors and commission-based professionals — and we promise it’s not dull. Heather brings clarity, confidence, and even a little fun to a topic most of us avoid until April. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?” this episode is for you. Knowledge is power — especially when it comes to your money. https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyAuthenticPodcast https://gatozarks.com/ https://www.arvesthomeloan.com/jdressler.html https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066937632311 https://simplyauthenticpod.com/ https://jenkinscpa.com/
