Blacksmiths tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Blacksmiths Write Off?

Short answer: Top write-offs: forges, anvils, power hammers, coal or propane, steel stock, safety gear, and craft-show fees.

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.
