Deduct This: Destinations + Deductions

Turn your business travel into intentional tax strategy while protecting your wallet, your documentation, and your peace of mind.

The IRS allows entrepreneurs to legally deduct flights, hotels, meals, transportation, and more—but only when the trip is designed and documented the right way. Discover how to structure travel with a clear business purpose, what actually qualifies, what never will, and how to keep records that stand strong in an audit.

Register now and learn step-by-step how to turn every business trip into a strategic, tax-deductible money move.

ABOUT THIS MASTERCLASS

Inside this masterclass, you’ll learn how to:

Know when a trip qualifies as business vs. personal
Structure itineraries so your travel clearly serves a business purpose
Deduct flights, hotels, meals, transportation, and more—within IRS rules
Handle mixed-purpose trips (business + personal) the right way
Keep the receipts, logs, and digital records you need to support your deductions
Avoid red flags with travel while still maximizing what you can write off

This isn’t about loopholes. It’s about understanding the travel rules, protecting yourself, and making every trip a strategic business move, not a risky guess.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR – KYM BRAKE

Hi, I’m Kym Brake — Enrolled Agent, tax law LLM, and founder of OC Tax Brake.

I’ve been helping business owners reduce their taxes for over 20 years, but my journey didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in a hospital room, raising my disabled daughter as a single mom.

I learned the tax code inside and out because I had to. And today, my strategies don’t just save families money, they change their futures.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN INSIDE

What’s personal travel vs. what may be deductible
Which trips and activities genuinely support your business purpose
When travel qualifies as business vs. mixed-use (business + personal)
How to properly document flights, hotels, meals, and itineraries
The biggest myths about writing off travel and “workcations”
How to confidently talk to your tax pro about travel deductions

This isn’t just tax planning. It’s wealth building.

WHO THIS IS FOR

(AND NOT FOR)

🚫 Not for you if:

You don’t own a business
People who don’t travel and don’t plan to
Individuals looking to deduct purely personal vacations with no business intent
Anyone wanting personalized tax filings or one-on-one advice

✅ Perfect for you if:

Entrepreneurs who travel regularly for business
Business owners who want to turn more of their personal travel into legitimate business travel
You want to save money on taxes and legally travel the world
Service providers, coaches, and creators who work remotely

WHY THIS STRATEGY WORKS

Because the IRS allows business travel deductions—you just need to understand the rules. When you know what qualifies as business travel, you can confidently deduct flights, lodging, meals, and more.

Because intention matters. When you plan your trips with a clear business purpose—meetings, content creation, research, client work—they become legitimate business travel instead of personal vacations.

Because documentation turns confusion into compliance. When you keep simple records (think: calendars, agendas, receipts), you can prove business intent and protect yourself in case of an audit.

Because you’re already traveling. Instead of leaving money on the table, this strategy helps you structure your trips so you can see more of the world and reduce your taxable income—without spending more or doing anything shady.

It aligns with how businesses genuinely operate.
It turns your business into a mobile asset.
It maximizes deductions without increasing your workload.

Destination + Deductions helps you keep more cash today so you can take more trips, see more places, and travel on your terms.

THE BIG PICTURE

Destination + Deductions shows you how to turn your travel into a business asset—so every trip becomes an opportunity to save money, explore more, and run your business with intention.

You can legally turn more of your travel into deductible business travel—once you understand how to plan and document it properly.
Your business can support the lifestyle you want, including exploring new destinations while staying fully compliant with IRS rules.
Travel becomes a strategic part of your business, not just an expense—helping you grow, create, connect, and reduce your tax bill at the same time.
You gain clarity and confidence, knowing exactly how to structure trips so you save money and travel more without guessing or risking mistakes.

“When you understand how business travel really works, the world stops feeling expensive—and starts feeling available.” – Kym Brake

Yes, when tied to a bona fide business purpose and properly documented. You’ll learn exactly how.

Will this trigger an audit?

Sloppy records do. This class shows how to prevent red flags and build an audit-ready file.

Can I deduct all my clothes?

No. You’ll learn exclusive-use rules and media-closet systems that pass scrutiny.

I’m not ultra-luxury.

It’s about your market. A Newport realtor ≠ a Compton realtor. We help you define “ordinary & necessary” for you.

I’m busy. Is this practical?

Yes, checklists, templates, SOPs. Implement in one afternoon.

FAQ

Do I need to travel a lot for this course to benefit me?

No. Even a few trips a year can lead to meaningful tax savings when you know how to structure and document them correctly.

Can I really deduct parts of a trip that feel like a vacation?

Yes—as long as the trip has a legitimate business purpose and meets IRS guidelines. The course shows you exactly how to plan, document, and separate business from personal days.

Do I have to own an LLC to deduct travel?

No. Sole proprietors, LLC owners, S-corps, and many side-hustlers can deduct business travel. The course breaks down what qualifies based on your business type.

What kinds of travel expenses can be deducted?

Flights, lodging, transportation, meals, conference fees, research activities, and more. You’ll learn what’s allowed, what’s not, and how to track everything properly.

Will this course teach me how to stay compliant with the IRS?

Yes. You’ll learn exactly what the IRS expects—how to document, what proof to keep, and how to confidently defend your deductions if needed.
