Carter Cofield of @cofield_advisor is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs save money on taxes. He's spent years learning the best tax savings strategies so that he can teach them to entrepreneurs and business owners everywhere. He’s also the owner of Cofield’s Concepts which is a financial literacy website teaching people how to make more money, pay less taxes, and be their own boss!
In this episode, Carter and I discuss tax considerations if you're getting deeper into the points hobby. Are points taxable? What about bank bonuses? Will the IRS get mad at you if you use personal expenses to meet minimum spends for business credit cards? What are some tax writeoffs you can get for being in this hobby? Get excited to find out!
If you are a small business owner, one of the best cards to have is the Chase Ink Business Unlimited. You'll earn an easy 1.5x for all of your business expenses and pay no annual fee! Additionally, you can consolidate your Chase log-ins so that your Chase Ink accounts are under the same login as your Chase Sapphire account. That way, the cashback introductory bonus you earn on the Chase Ink Business Unlimited card can be used as travel points when transferred to a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve! Remember: never ever ever apply for a card through Google. Always use a friend or creator's links when you apply.
