BUSINESS TAX DEDUCTION CLINIC™
A program for business owners who want to become tax savvy and keep thousands more in their pocket each year!
Are you ready to implement effective business tax deduction strategies—so you can take advantage of tax breaks, save thousands of dollars, and improve your quality of life?
Did you know? An effective tax deduction strategy benefits you not only this year, but every year going forward.
If you think you’re stuck paying the IRS too much of your hard-earned revenue…
… Or that your small business can’t qualify for substantial tax breaks…
… Or that the only way to take advantage of these tax savings is by hiring a dedicated full-time tax professional…
Think
Again!
Want to know a secret?
Your tax filer’s job isn’t to maximize your tax savings—their job is to file your tax return. If you haven’t already implemented the right tax strategies and properly documented your tax deductions, your tax filer won’t be able to fix this after the fact.
I’m guessing you’ve tried at least one of the following:
- Hired one tax filer after another, always hoping to lower your tax bill.
- Googled “Is it legal to deduct ______________?”
- Copied what another business owner has done, even though your business is different from theirs.
- Joined an expensive tax program that didn’t actually teach you anything.
And I’ll bet you’ve repeated at least 2 of these steps more than once. 
Newsflash!
Becoming a tax-savvy business owner is the most effective way to STOP forfeiting thousands of dollars to the IRS each year and to START receiving thousands in tax-free benefits.
THE THING IS,
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT
YOU DON’T KNOW.
(And that's costing you money!)
For example, did you know…
Auto deductions can be as high as 90% of your total auto costs.
You can hire your underage children for P/T work in your business… in a way that makes the money truly tax-free and also reduces your business tax bill.
It’s possible to deduct an expensive $100k+ higher-education degree.
Many homeowners who deduct their home office forfeit thousands of dollars each year because they don’t use the most advantageous calculation method.
Paying for traditional health insurance isn’t the only way to provide medical coverage for employees—there are 5 other legally deductible alternatives!
Using the Augusta Rule creates a double opportunity—in that it creates tax-free revenue for you personally but also reduces your business tax bill.

Hobby Loss and What You Should Know LIVE Training
Are you in a low-profit (or no-profit) phase of your business growth? If so, you need to be aware that the IRS and state governments might reject your business tax deductions and require you to pay taxes and penalties unless you can demonstrate a Profit Motive for your expenses. In this live training, we will cover the 7 Criteria that can help establish that profit motive for different business expenses in different scenarios. Once you understand these criteria—and how to articulate whether your expenses meet them—you can be confident that your deductions will be upheld even during low-profit periods.
($299 value)
Personal Journal Entry How-To
You know you’re supposed to keep separate business & personal accounts (only paying for business expenses through business bank accounts, personal expenses through personal bank accounts). But for those times you make a mistake (like paying for a business expense with a personal credit card)… Or for when you need to correctly record business transactions that can only be paid through personal accounts (due to the set-up)… This LIVE masterclass shows you exactly what to do!

How to Use Mileage IQ to Capture Your Auto’s Business Use Percent
Mileage IQ in itself is a cool tool! But the downside is that if you use it with the default settings, you’re limited to the IRS’ Annual Mileage Rate (which is usually ¼ to ½ of other calculation options). In Business Tax Deduction Clinic’s core curriculum, you learn how to best maximize your auto deductions through use of the standard deduction; however, most people struggle to track all the qualifying data required. In this "How-to-Use Mileage IQ" masterclass, Erin teaches you the quickest, most efficient, and painless version of tracking needed data so that you can double, triple or even quadruple what you deduct.

Is Business Tax Deduction Clinic™ right for you?
You want to strategically ensure that you’re deducting as much as the law allows—and you enjoy the idea of saving thousands of dollars each year.
You want to put a plan into place that will financially benefit you not only this year, but each year going forward—and you’re willing to spend 1-2 hours a week for 1-2 months to get there.
Your business operates as a pass-through entity in the United States. This means your business is a sole proprietorship, formal partnership, LLC, or S-Corporation. (While many of the deduction strategies taught through this program translate to non-profits and C-Corporations, our program does not address the nuances of non-pass-through entities.)
Your business was established in and is primarily based in United States. Our tax expertise and focus is entirely based on U.S. law.
You’ve looked into how to legally deduct more in the past, but you’re ready to accelerate the process by getting professional help from a small business tax strategy expert.
You like making smart, proactive moves in your business.
You’re interested in being able to communicate with your tax filer about why and how you’re qualified to take certain deductions (and you also love the idea of possessing the know-how to “check” that deductions were actually claimed on the return before you sign it).
You want full clarity and confidence that everything you’ve deducted and received benefit from is in compliance with the law.
You’re only interested in reducing a prior year’s tax burden. We teach people deduction strategy that can possibly reduce a closed period’s tax bill. However, without the time to set up or document things prior to a past year’s close, there are fewer deduction possibilities. Instead, in our program we focus on what you can do this year—as well as in future years—helping ensure your deductions’ qualification, setup & documentation are airtight.
You want a “quick fix.” Every strategy and skill we teach only works if you do the work. If you aren’t willing to spend time learning and then implementing these strategies, please don’t join. We want to work with motivated students.
Your business operates as a C-Corporation or Non-Profit. While many of the deduction strategies taught through this program do translate to Non-Profits and C-Corporations, our program does not address the nuances of C-Corporation or Non-Profit entities. (Instead, our program was created specifically for pass-through entities—which are sole proprietorships, formal partnerships, LLCs, or S-Corporations.)
Your business was established outside of the United States. This program was created for US businesses only. We have no tax experience, tax expertise, or tax-credentialing outside of the U.S.
You aren’t willing to commit 1-2 hours a week. The program gives you lifelong access and you can take it at your own speed. That said, we recommend spending an hour or two a week on it until you’re done.
You don’t mind haphazardly claiming tax deductions that reduce your tax bill without any documentation or proof. In our program we only focus on intentional, law-driven, thoughtful strategy, and we only teach you how to deduct expenses you’ve legally qualified to take.
Here’s just a few of the tax deduction strategies covered in Business Tax Deduction Clinic™ that can make a measurable difference for you:
-
Maximized & Accurately Claimed Business Use of a Home Office Space: Many business owners do not realize the depth of what’s possible by establishing a home office for deduction purposes—as the home office deduction influences the possibility of other deductions down the line. Does this sound like you?
To-date, every business owner who has worked with Erin and has properly calculated and documented their home office space has added at least $2k more in deductions each year. Whether you have a studio apartment in NYC, or a 30-room mansion in the country, a legal home office is possible and will financially help you! -
Legal implementation of the Augusta Rule: Many business owners have heard of this tax break, but they don't fully understand it.
As such, people are losing money by not claiming it properly (if they claim it at all) AND they don’t have the documentation they need if they get audited. Small business owners who learn the right way to take advantage of the Augusta Rule typically claim $3k-10k in additional deductions each year, while additionally receiving tax-free income. - Choosing the RIGHT health coverage option for your business: Beyond simply providing employer-subsidized health insurance, there are reimbursements options, stipend possibilities, and more. When you use the right set-up for your particular business (this considers your employee makeup, your business’ legal structure, the cash you have available, and your goals), this optimized deduction can add anywhere from $3k to $100k+ in additional deductions each year—and one of those options creates over $10k in additional tax-free income to the business owner each year.
- Understanding how Content Creation works to support your business and how it can be legally deducted: In our virtual-oriented world, many small businesses spend at least some money and time on in-house creation of content.
But when it comes time to deduct these expenses (think photography, props, equipment to film, styling, etc.), they’re often red-lined by tax professionals because they look suspiciously like personal expenses.
In our program, we teach you how to legally qualify for these deductions, communicate about them, and claim them in a way that’s audit-proof—which can add anywhere from $5k and up each year in additional deductions. -
Meals, Food, Entertainment (going beyond the 50% and 0% Rules): You’ve probably heard that most meals and food purchased by your business are only 50% deductible. And while that can be true, it’s not applicable in every situation.
In our program, we teach you how to distinguish between business meals out (the 50% rule) and multiple other categories of food expenses you might incur, as well as to evaluate the purpose of entertainment expenses (i.e., Is this entertainment for a client? Is it part of my services? Is this for my staff? Or is it a personal party?)
Many small businesses are able to add an additional $1.5k to $10k in deductions each year by making these distinctions. -
Hiring your Underage Children:
In our program, we teach you all the logistics of legally hiring your underage children (taking into consideration your particular pass-through entity structure), and walk you through all the possible options for what you can do with that cash. We'll also teach you how to max out their custodial ROTH retirement accounts through this deduction.
Business owners who max out this possibility add over $14k in business tax deductions each year per child (plus create tax-free wealth on the recipient’s side). -
Maximized Travel: Most business owners know they can deduct business-related travel expenses… but what about when you want to do a dual-purpose trip, mixing business with pleasure? Or.. what about bringing along your spouse & kids—what can you deduct then?
In our program, we give you all the details—so that you can structure your trip to legally qualify for optimized deductions, while also taking the trip of your dreams. We will break down “special days,” luxury water travel possibilities, continuing education on cruise ships, overseas vacations and more, and we will show how the average business owner can add at least $3k (if not much more) in additional travel deductions each year. - Plus many, many MORE! In our program, we cover over 140 business tax deduction possibilities!
