Are you ready? For some small business owners it’s a big nope! But I got you! No worries.
Wearing many hats require me to know about as many tax deductions as possible. If you are in any MLM, Self Employed, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Use this tax information as a Deduction Organizational Guide
Home Business Expenses
Set aside a space in your home that is 100% business use. Never used for anything else, and regularly used for business. This is where you keep your business records, your business computer or laptop, make your sales calls from and meet clients. The tax term is regular and exclusive business use. If you do this, you deduct a percentage of the household expenses – rent, interest, taxes, utilities, insurance, repairs, etc, based on the square footage of the office ratioed to the home square footage. Expenses directly related to the office, such as a dedicated phone line; do not have to be ratioed. You can also take a small depreciation deduction for the home losing value. -K.P.
