Why Most Health & Wellness Pros Are Overpaying Taxes (and How to Fix It)
If you’re a health coach, massage therapist, personal trainer, nutritionist, or wellness entrepreneur—you probably didn’t start your business to become a bookkeeper.
You started it to help people live better lives. But here’s the truth: if your books aren’t in order, you could be giving away $5,000–$10,000 a year to the IRS without even knowing it.
And it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong—no one ever taught you the business side of wellness.
Between sessions, planning, continuing education, and content creation, who has time to track every payment, subscription, or expense?
But here’s one simple bookkeeping tip that could make a huge difference:
🎯 Track every continuing education course, certification, and wellness tool you invest in.
These are often tax-deductible—and if you’re not documenting them properly, you’re missing out on real savings.
Most wellness professionals are passionate, hardworking, and constantly reinvesting in their growth. But without the right systems, those investments don’t get counted—and that means you’re overpaying when tax season hits.
