Hotel and motel owners tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Hotel and motel owners Write Off?

Short answer: Top write-offs: building depreciation (39 years), cost segregation for furniture, linens, OTA commissions, and housekeeping wages.

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.
