Ethical Tax and Business Services | #SolutionsBeyondTax

Are you leaving money on the table?

If you’re a health coach, yoga instructor, therapist, esthetician, doula, or wellness entrepreneur, you likely spend money every month on tools, services, and education that support your business.

But here’s the question: Are you deducting those expenses at tax time?

Below is a checklist of common (and often overlooked) tax write-offs for women-led health and wellness businesses. These deductions could help reduce your taxable income and give you a clearer financial picture of where your money is going.

🧾 Business Operations

  • Home office expenses (portion of rent, utilities, internet, etc.)

  • Office supplies (printer ink, paper, pens)

  • Business insurance

  • Software subscriptions (Acuity, QuickBooks, Canva, Zoom)

  • Business cell phone usage

🧘‍♀️ Health & Wellness-Specific Expenses

  • Continuing education & certifications (CPR, yoga training, etc.)

  • Professional memberships (NASM, Yoga Alliance, AADP, etc.)

  • Client tools (resistance bands, essential oils, massage tables)

  • Product samples for clients or demos

  • Event or booth fees (pop-ups, expos, health fairs)

🎨 Marketing & Branding

  • Website hosting & domain

  • Branding & graphic design services

  • Paid social media ads

  • Email marketing platforms (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, etc.)

  • Professional brand photography

🚗 Travel & Transportation

  • Mileage to/from client sessions, meetings, or events

  • Parking and tolls for business trips

  • Travel expenses for conferences or training events

👩🏾‍💼 Professional Services

  • Legal & accounting fees

  • Bookkeeping or tax prep services

  • Business coaching or financial consulting

🛍️ Inventory & Supplies

  • Resellable products (supplements, books, branded merch)

  • Packaging & shipping materials

  • Wellness gifts or branded client giveaways

🤝 Team Support

  • Contractors (virtual assistants, content creators, etc.)

  • Payroll (if you run an S-Corp and pay yourself on payroll)

🔁 Bonus Tip:

Keep your receipts and use a tracking system. Whether you prefer QuickBooks, Wave, or a simple spreadsheet + Google Drive folder, consistency is key when it comes to audit-proofing your records.

(Well, even more than you are now, of course) The key is to take a bit of time now to start preparing for your tax return appointment, so your accountant has everything they need, when they need it, to complete your return.     Of course, as a favorite client, you already know that the days of dropping off a shoebox of receipts and tax documents at the front desk…waiting for a call to let you know you forgot such-and-such documents…stopping by to drop off the missing info…waiting for the call that your return is done…then stopping in to pick up the finished return, is in the past.
