Every crafter knows the moment. You're forty rows in, you look down, and something's just wrong.
So you frog it. Rip it, rip it. You don't quit — you go back and do it right.
Here's what nobody tells you, friend: your taxes work the same way.
That return where you didn't deduct your booth fees because you didn't know they counted? You've generally got a three-year window to go back and fix it. The shoebox year? Frogged. Redone. Money back.
But you can't fix what you don't know to look for. So here's the list.
The Maker's Write-Off List — free. 11 categories of what crafters can actually deduct:
✔️ Materials vs. supplies (same receipt, different spot on your return)
✔️ Tools and equipment — and how fast you get to write them off
✔️ The home studio deduction everyone's scared of
✔️ Mileage, craft fairs, booth fees, canopies
✔️ Etsy fees, processing fees, shipping
✔️ The three big ones that don't even go on your Schedule C
Plus a page on what's NOT deductible, so nobody learns that part the hard way. (Your own time and labor. I'm sorry. That one hurts every year.)
The Mileage Mini Log comes with it too — one sheet, one cut, folds into a little book for your glove box. Because mileage is the deduction makers leave on the table the most, and "I'll remember" has never once worked.
You've frogged a whole sweater before. A tax return is nothing.
👇 Comment FROG and I'll send the list straight to your DMs. 🐸
