Any professional services used in the running of the business are a viable tax write-off. This includes accountants, lawyers, marketing services, and even the cleaning service. These all are the easiest to document and therefore will be good as a tax write-off.
Donations are also a very good tax write-off option. When you give old products to charities get a receipt for the items. If your business sponsors equipment for the little league, keep receipts for this activity.
