Dive shop owners tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Dive shop owners Write Off?

Short answer: Top write-offs: rental gear, air compressors and fills, boat charters, instructor certifications, and pool rental.

Business owners deduct operating costs on Schedule C or the entity return; equipment can usually be expensed in year one with Section 179 or 100% bonus depreciation.

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