    I think you can, but most people take the standard deduction every year (which is supposed to represent these things) rather than calculate the itemized deduction with receipts.

      I’ve itemized a bunch of times and you were pretty limited in what you could deduct. If you have a mortgage you can deduct the interest but not the payments. And before 2020 you deduct a portion of your household expenses if you had a home office.

      But to a business those are all operating expenses and businesses only pay tax on profits.

        That’s such garbage. Corporate lobbying should have never been made legal.

          So you are going to open an LLC, transfer your wages to it(already taxed) so that you can buy everything for your life and then try and get a big deduction on the money that is left over(the LLC’s “profit”)

          I’m not sure that adds up like you think it does…
