my wife is a coach with OPTAVIA. Does anyone have any tax deduction ideas that I can let her know about?

Some tax deductions for an Optavia coach that come to mind for me include:

Mileage if she drives to meet with her clients (not applicable if she does it all via remote platforms)
Internet expenses (if she is meeting with clients remotely, some portion of your household internet bill can be claimed as a business expense)
Phone expenses (again a portion of a phone bill that can be deducted based on the percent of the time the phone is used for business purposes.)
Business cards
Marketing expenses
Home office expense

Any expense incurred that helps generate the income is potentially a business expense!
