Advice on Maximizing Deductions for Freelance Business Expenses

[daniya]

I’m working on my taxes as a freelancer and was wondering if anyone has advice on how to maximize deductions for my small business. I recently started a blog and website at www.stumblegapk.com, and I’m trying to understand what business expenses I can deduct. Any tips would be appreciated!

You can deduct expenses for your business that are ordinary and necessary to do the work that you do.  Since you have a website, things such as the hosting fee, expenses for website design, your computer, stock photos for the website, subscriptions for business services, and domain registration fees come to mind as possible business expenses.  

Take a look at the following TurboTax help article for other ideas that may apply to your situation:
