The Problem With Manual Deduction Tracking
Most small business owners leave thousands in deductions on the table every year β not because the deductions don't exist, but because the process of identifying them is slow, inconsistent, and dependent on memory.
At Ombsy Tax Pro, we've built AI-powered intake systems that automatically cross-reference your expense categories against current IRS guidelines to surface deductions you might miss.
Top Q1 Deductions to Claim in 2025
Home Office Deduction
If you use part of your home exclusively and regularly for business, you can deduct a portion of your mortgage interest, rent, utilities, and insurance. The simplified method allows $5 per square foot, up to 300 sq ft.
Vehicle and Mileage
The 2025 standard mileage rate is 67 cents per mile for business use. Keep a mileage log β our AI intake system can help you calculate this from your driving patterns.
Health Insurance Premiums
Self-employed individuals can deduct 100% of health insurance premiums for themselves, their spouse, and dependents. This is an above-the-line deduction β you don't need to itemize.
Business Equipment (Section 179)
Section 179 allows you to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and software in the year it's placed in service. For 2025, the deduction limit is Custom Consultation.
Retirement Contributions
Contributions to a SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA, or Solo 401(k) can significantly reduce your taxable income. For 2025, SEP-IRA contributions can be up to 25% of net self-employment income.
How Ombsy AI Finds What You Miss
Our intake system asks the right questions at the right time β prompting you for vehicle logs when you mention client visits, or flagging home office eligibility when you describe your work setup. The result is a more complete return with less effort.
