Have you ever looked at something you bought and wondered, “Can I really write that off?” Chances are, the answer is yes—if you know how to document it correctly.

In this episode, Barbara pulls back the curtain on some surprising deductions hiding in plain sight—including what’s inside her own purse. From luxury laptop bags to logo jewelry, chargers to creator cameras, she shows how business owners can legally transform everyday purchases into smart tax strategies.

Barbara also explains why context and documentation are everything when it comes to deductions—and why mastering this skill can save you tens of thousands of dollars every year.

If you’ve ever questioned what qualifies as a business expense (and what doesn’t), this episode will open your eyes to possibilities you never knew existed.

Tune in to hear:

• How Barbara turned a designer bag into a legitimate business deduction
• Why logo jewelry (yes, even diamond necklaces!) counts as a marketing expense
• The everyday tech, office supplies, and content-creation tools you might be forgetting to deduct
• How to properly document context so your deductions stay compliant
• Why most accountants don’t know these strategies—and the difference between tax prep and tax strategy
• The power of learning hundreds of write-off opportunities that most business owners miss
