The Tax-Ready Business Toolkit Video Course
$47$67
Most landscaping business owners don't overpay in taxes because they're careless. They overpay because nobody ever explained how self-employed income is taxed, which deductions actually apply to a landscaping business, or what records the IRS expects to see.
This course covers what we go over with our own landscaping clients, in plain language, in about 40 minutes of video. Each lesson comes with a tracker, checklist, or guide so you can put it to work right away.
What you'll learn
How your business is taxed: income tax, self-employment tax, and the deduction most owners never hear about
How to pay as you go, so April isn't a surprise
What counts as business income, including the types people forget to report
The deductions that matter for landscapers: your truck, your equipment, your home office or shop, meals, travel, and the everyday costs of running the business
How to pay contractors the right way, and how hiring your kids can lower your taxes
Exactly what records to keep, so every deduction holds up
What's included
11 short video lessons you can watch at your own pace, with lifetime access
Trackers for mileage and vehicles, home office, business meals, business travel, equipment, and paying your kids

Who it's for
Sole proprietors and single-member LLCs in landscaping and lawn care, whether you do your own taxes or hand everything to a tax preparer. If you're a partnership or an S corporation, most of it still applies, and the lessons point out where your rules are different.
