As a business owner, it is your responsibility to report all income you’ve earned in your business when tax time comes around. You also have the OPPORTUNITY to report any and all business-related expenses that reduce that income, to reduce the amount of taxes you owe. These expenses are often referred to as tax deductions, or write-offs.
