  • The IRS deems a business expense “an expense both ordinary and necessary” to you earning self-employment income. It takes money to make money, since you have to incur expenses in order to operate a business, the IRS allows you to “write-off” your business expenses to lower your self-employment net income. It’s important to note these expenses MUST fall within IRS compliance (aka not personal and not lavish) otherwise you will have to pay penalties and interest in the even of an audit.
