Door-to-door and solar sales reps tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Door-to-door and solar sales reps Write Off?

Short answer: 1099 reps deduct mileage between neighborhoods, a tablet and phone plan, lodging on out-of-town knocking trips, and sales training.

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.
