Episode #98 Episode #98 BMC Tax LLC- One Big Beautiful Bill and how it may help your business.

Brandon Cox with BMC Tax is Back: Tax Tips, Write-Offs & a Bill You Should Know About

We brought back Brandyn Cox for round two—because taxes are confusing, and he’s one of the few who can actually make them make sense. In this episode, we dig into a newly proposed “One big, beautiful bill” that could benefit real estate photographers, plus get Brandyn’s insight on what you can and can’t write off (spoiler: vehicles and mileage came up). Rachel asked about buying a new car, Neal asked what he’s missing, and Brandyn dropped some gems that’ll help you plan smarter for next tax season. If you want to keep more of your money next year, don’t skip this one.
