Deductions Most Houston Taxpayers Miss

TurboTax asks standard questions. We ask the right ones. Here's what most Houston filers leave unclaimed:

Home Office Deduction

Remote workers: if you have a dedicated workspace, you can deduct a percentage of your rent, utilities, internet, and home maintenance. Most software under-calculates this.

Vehicle Mileage

67 cents per mile for business use in 2024. If you drive for work — clients, job sites, deliveries — unclaimed mileage is the most common missed deduction for Houston self-employed taxpayers.

Energy-Efficient Home Credits

New HVAC system, solar panels, energy-efficient windows? The Inflation Reduction Act provides up to $3,200 in credits annually for Houston homeowners who qualify.

Self-Employed Health Insurance

100% of health insurance premiums are deductible if you're self-employed or own an LLC. This deduction reduces both income tax and self-employment tax.

Retirement Contributions

Solo 401(k) contributions up to $69,000 for 2024. SEP-IRA contributions up to $69,000. Houston small business owners frequently under-fund retirement accounts and miss massive deductions.

Business Equipment & Software

Section 179 allows you to deduct 100% of equipment purchases in the year bought — not depreciated over 5 years. Computers, cameras, tools, and software all qualify.

Maximum Refund FAQ

How do I get the maximum tax refund in Houston TX?

The biggest refund comes from claiming every deduction and credit you're legally entitled to. For most Houstonians, the biggest opportunities are: home office, vehicle mileage, self-employed health insurance, retirement contributions, and energy efficiency credits. A professional preparer who asks the right questions finds what software misses.

Can you get me a bigger refund than TurboTax?

Yes, in most cases. Software asks generic questions. We interview you about your year — every job, every expense, every life change. We've recovered an average of $1,200 more per return than what self-filers previously received. And we guarantee it: bigger refund or your fee back.

What deductions do most Houston taxpayers miss?

The most commonly missed: home office deduction, vehicle mileage, energy-efficient home improvement credits, self-employed health insurance premium deduction, retirement contribution deductions, and Section 179 equipment deductions. If you're self-employed or own a small business in Houston, you're almost certainly leaving money behind.

How much does your tax preparation cost in Houston?

Individual returns start at $150. Self-employed / Schedule C returns start at $250. Small business (S-Corp, LLC) returns start at $400. Call (225) 396-5511 for a free quote — most clients find our fee is covered by the extra refund we find.
