Addiction counselors tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Addiction counselors Write Off?

Short answer: Self-employed counselors deduct certification (CADC), CE, an office, testing supplies, and liability insurance; agency employees can't federally.

Self-employed workers deduct these on Schedule C, cutting income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax; keep receipts and a mileage log.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
