Flight school owners tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Flight school owners Write Off?

Short answer: Top write-offs: training aircraft, maintenance and inspections, simulators, hangar rent, instructor pay, and aviation insurance.

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.
