Tax Savings: Easiest Ways To Earn More WITHOUT Sponsoring
There are 2 ways to increase your wealth in your MLM business.
Make more money (duh!)
Or
Keep more money! (bet you didn’t think of that did you?!)
The first one is obvious but not the second.
You don’t need to necessarily have to make more in order to be wealthier.
You can simply KEEP more of what you currently have.

How to Qualify for Tax Savings
Almost every MLM distributor qualifies for these tax savings.
Here is a quick checklist of things you should do:
1) Treat your MLM business as a business and NOT a hobby
Document and track everything
2) Work consistent regular hours
This is good for you. It’ll force you to work on your business every single day and have “regular business hours” or set times where you just go and prospect.
3) Use a good tracker tool
You can use Taxbot app or a comparable tool to track expenses
4) Have an accountant that understands your business
The person doing your taxes should understand home businesses
5) Document everything
Always document what each expense is for.
Was that cup of coffee purchased at Starbucks to meet a prospect?
On each receipt you should write down the name of person and what was covered in that business meeting
Mistakes To Avoid With Tax Savings
Chances are you know that you can save money through legal tax deductions but you’re at risk if you make these common mistakes
1) Not Planning for Taxes
The MLM income is nice but don’t forget you have to pay your taxes on that income.
You should set asides a certain amount each month and pay your taxes quarterly.
2) Lack of Documentation
This will get in trouble with the IRS.
Most distributors are lazy with their documentation and do it last minute.
Bad documentation is what the IRS goes after so make sure you use handy tools such as Taxbot to track and document all your expenses.
3) No Tracking
What doesn’t get tracked can NOT get improved.
Most MLM distributors just focus on earning the money but don’t pay attention to the legal tax loopholes that they can maximize
Tax Loopholes
Here are common loopholes that you should take advantage of.
