There are legal ways to reduce your taxes by reporting income as business expenses. For example, if you’re a sole proprietor, you can take the standard deduction and claim any operating expenses that exceed 2% of your total gross income. Another option is to form a corporation and take advantage of the reduced tax rate for C-corporations. You can also deduct other expenses like salary payments or health insurance for yourself and employees. As always, consult with a tax professional before attempting any of these strategies.
