Corporate board members tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Corporate board members Write Off?

Short answer: Director fees are self-employment income, so deduct travel to meetings, a home office for board work, and education or D&O costs you pay yourself.

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.
