Tax Tip from Advanta Tax Consulting: OWNER-OPERATORS: KEEP YOUR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL MONEY SEPARATE!

Mixing expenses makes bookkeeping harder and may cause you to overlook deductions—or claim personal purchases incorrectly.

Use a dedicated business account for:

⛽ Fuel
🔧 Repairs and maintenance
🛞 Tires
🛡️ Commercial insurance
🧾 Permits and truck expenses

Use your personal account for family, household, and personal purchases.

Cleaner records mean easier tax preparation, better financial reports, and stronger support for your deductions.
