#2 Business Meals 

When traveling on business and/or dining out with clients, you can deduct up to 50% of the total expense (2022 is the last time dining can be deducted at 100% – check with your accountant). It's important to keep track of these expenses as they can add up quickly. 

For 2021 and 2022, the IRS is allowing the full deduction of food and drinks purchased from restaurants for business purposes. However, entertainment expenses are no longer deductible, with the exception of when they're given as gifts.

#4 Car Depreciation and Mileage 

Every mile driven for your real estate business is eligible for a potential tax deduction. The IRS reimbursement rate for 2021 is currently set at 62.5 cents per mile. Your accountant or tax professional can tell you what the 2022 rate is.

Automate mileage tracking with a mileage tracker app like Everlance to save time, energy, and money. If you drive over 10,000 miles in a year for your real estate business, the standard mileage deduction is likely the best option for you. 

If you drive fewer miles or have a high car payment, the actual cost method may be the most beneficial.

#5 Education and Training 

If you invest in continuing education or training courses to stay competitive in the field of real estate, you may qualify for certain deductions. The IRS requires that the courses are related to your current profession, do not meet minimum education requirements of the profession, and serve the purpose of improving or maintaining your skill in the field. 

Should all of these criteria be met, you can deduct expenses such as course fees, tuition, books and supplies, lab costs, transportation, and more.
