Tax Deductions Every Fitness Instructor Misses

You work hard for your money. Don't give it all to the IRS. As an independent contractor (1099), you can deduct "ordinary and necessary" business expenses.

The Obvious Ones

  • Studio Rent
  • Liability Insurance
  • CPR Certification costs

The Often Missed Ones

  • Music Streaming: If you use Spotify Premium for class, it's a business expense.
  • Home Office: Do you plan your sequences at a desk in your apartment? Deduct a percentage of your rent.
  • Mileage: Driving between studios? 67 cents per mile adds up fast.
  • Continuing Ed: That weekend workshop you took? Deductible.
