April
15… the day that most American's
look towards with doom.
Are
you one of them?
Are you sick of working hard every
day, and having to give such a large
percentage of that money to the government?
Do you wish that you could
find a way tobeat the IRS, but LEGALLY?
If so,
you are one of millions of Americans
who wish that there was a better way
to capitalize more on the money they
make, rather than seeing such a large
portion of it disappear before it ever
even hits their bank accounts.
There
is an under-utilized solution to this
problem. I want to take the opportunity
to educate you about the benefits that
a home-based business can have on your
tax burden.
When
thinking of the benefits of a home-based
business, many people first think of
the following:
Financial Gain
Independence;
not having to rely
on a boss or a company to provide
you with everything that you need
Sense of Self-Worth and Accomplishment
Have
you ever thought of a home-based business
as a venue for Tax Relief?
Most
people do not realize just how much
money they can save by starting a home-based
business. Obviously, the goal is for
you to make money with your home-based
business, but even if it does not turn
a profit right away, you can still benefit
from the mere fact that your business
exists and that you are attempting to
turn a profit.
Also,
your home-based business does not have
to be a full-time venture. It is something
that can fit into your current daily
life. You can continue to do what you
are doing today, and add a home based
business into your focus. Eventually,
your goal can be to replace (and greatly
exceed!) the income that you generate
from your "j.o.b."
The fact
is that most people still struggle with
finances, but there are things that
you can do legally to ease that burden.
If you operate your own home based business,
then there are many deductions you will
be able to take every year that will
dramatically lower the amount you have
to pay to the IRS in taxes.
I recommend
that you consult an accountant to find
out exactly what you are legally able
to deduct for your home-based business.
But, to give you an idea of the possibilities,
the following is a list of deductions
that will be available to you if you
have your own home based business:
 |
Home
Office Expenses:
Deductible business expenses can
include a portion of your rent
or mortgage, real estate taxes,
utilities, insurance, painting
and repairs. The actual amount
that you can deduct depends on
the percentage of your home used
for business. You can figure the
percentage of your home expenses
that are deductible by first figuring
out the percentage of your home
that is used exclusively for business. |
 |
Travel
Expenses:
You can also deduct your travel
expenses. These deductions include
things such as airfare or other
transportation costs as well as
your hotel or other lodging expenses.
There are limitations on deductions
for meals. The best part is that
if you do your planning properly,
you can mix pleasure and business
and still get the benefit of a
deduction. |
 |
Entertainment
Expenses:
Meals and Entertainment Expenses:
You can deduct 50% of the cost
of a meal in a restaurant, or
an entertainment/sporting event
like a concert or a football game
as long as business takes place
before, during, or soon after
the event. |
 |
Depreciation
Expenses:
You can take a deduction for property
you purchase for your business
that is intended to last for more
than one year. This might include
items such as computers, office
furniture, and machinery. You
are not required to depreciate
long-term business property because
if you prefer, you have the option
of deducting the entire expense
in a single year instead of spreading
it out over several years. |
 |
Professional
Services Expenses:
You may need help getting your
business established as well as
assistance to keep it running
properly. Fortunately, you can
deduct any fees that you pay to
attorneys, accountants, consultants,
and any other professionals related
to the operation of your business. |
 |
Advertising
Expenses:
The old adage goes: "Early
to Bed, Early to Rise… Advertise!
Advertise! Advertise!"
The key to any business is your
ability to advertise. There are
countless ways to advertise for
free, especially with the advent
of the Internet. However, the
operation of any successful business
will eventually lead to the spending
of advertising dollars. Any advertising
that you do will count as a business
expense, and therefore can be
deducted. |
 |
Taking
a Loss:
The majority of home businesses
do not turn a profit right away,
which means that it is entirely
possible that your home business
expenses may exceed your income.
You may not deduct more than you
make in any one tax year, but
you may carry a loss over to the
next year if it cannot be used
in the tax year in which it occurs. |
