Hi everyone, I hope your week was fantastic! I always get asked about tax write-offs, tax deductions, and tax exemptions for your home business. Tax write-offs can keep your business a-float. Uncle Sam wants your small business to succeed. There are all types of things you can write-off on your home business. You can even deduct your computer that you use for home business.
Keep your receipts for everything. Even if you buy paper for your printer; save the receipt. Anything at all that you use for your home business. You can even put your business name on your vehicle and write-off mileage, gas costs, and maintenance. Some states let you write-off more things than other states.
Check with your tax person to find out what you can write-off. Always remember to keep those receipts to prove you purchased items or services for your business. You can even write-off the software you use on your computer. If you design websites, you could write off all the graphics programs. That would save you thousands of dollars through the tax year.
In the state I live, selling lingerie is a tax exemption. That means I can sell as much lingerie as I want and won’t have to pay taxes. Home businesses get all kinds of benefits like this, that a storefront business wouldn’t receive.
You may not get to write everything off on your home business every tax season. But, every little bit counts. Little things here and there add up at the end of the year. That’s why it is so important to save your business receipts. It will make life a lot easier for yourself and your tax person.
It could mean the difference of paying thousands of dollars to the IRS. Instead you may only pay a small portion if you remember to write-off your business expenses. Business expenses are the only way the IRS will give you a break on your taxes. So document everything and have proof you spent what you say you spent.
Try not to use a tax place like H&R Block. I know they are popular and give you a tax check on the spot. But so many times, a place like this will have very under-qualified individuals doing your taxes. They won’t know everything they need to know about tax write-offs for a business. They are used to doing taxes for individuals without and kind of business possessions.
You need to find a tax person that is familiar with home business tax write-offs. Most small tax firms will have very qualified tax people. Just stay away from the commercialized tax people. On top of them not giving you all your deductions in tax season; they charge an arm and a leg for their services.
