Write offs
Can Health Coaches Write Off Their Phone?
Yes, health coaches can deduct the business-use portion of their phone bill as a Schedule C expense. If you use your phone for both client calls and personal life, you deduct only the business-use percentage, such as 60%, based on usage records, not the full bill.
How Do Health Coaches Lower Their Taxes?
Health coaches lower their taxes mainly by deducting every legitimate business expense on Schedule C, from certifications and liability insurance to Kajabi and Zoom subscriptions, then reducing net profit further with a retirement account like a SEP-IRA or Solo 401(k), which can shelter up to 25% of net self-employment earnings.
Can You Write Off Coaching Expenses?
Yes, coaching business expenses are tax deductible if they are ordinary and necessary for running your practice. This includes certification renewals, Kajabi and Stripe fees, software subscriptions, marketing, and continuing education, deducted on Schedule C against your coaching income before you calculate self-employment tax on Schedule SE.
