Four things we constantly see missed: 1. Your spouse already approves every big decision you make. They can be on the company 401(k) too — one business, two maxed-out retirements. 2. Twenty percent of your income, deductible, without spending a dollar. Most owners get a fraction of it and never find out why. 3. A swimming pool that was 100% deductible and the home office rule that made it hold up. 4. 76 cents a mile for driving you already do. Many people leave it on the table because they don't want an app on their phone.
