Lawn care mower and trailer

$3,000-$15,000

Can You Write Off Lawn Care Mower and Trailer?

Short answer: Yes: commercial mowers, trimmers, and trailers are depreciable equipment for a lawn care business.

Self-employed people deduct ordinary and necessary business costs on Schedule C, which lowers both income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
