US Congress enacts Home-Based Businesses Tax Savings Solutions We are talking about tax savings laws passed by the United StatesCongress specifically to encourage taxpayers to actively operate asmall home-based business - even on a part-time basis - with the intentto make a profit. First , the fastest-growing business category -- for severalyears in a row -- has been Small Home Based Businesses. Maintainingcontinued expansion in that industry simply makes perfect sense for ournational economy. Second , unemployment puts a tremendous strain on the economy,and the leading job-growth category, again, is Small Home BasedBusiness. Job growth = less unemployment = stronger economy. Third, if every taxpayer had a part-time home-based businessas a "fall back" or "safety net," a signifigant layoff by a majoremployer would have less of an impact on the economy. You are about to get a map to a lot of "information" i.e., small homebased business tax savings that are 100% IRS-compliant, easy to qualifyfor, and simple to document. Most taxpayers (and most professional tax preparers) are cluelessabout these small-business-friendly tax savings, for a variety ofreasons: · The media gives very little publicity to these laws, · Small-business tax law is not part of the ciriculum in most accounting schools, · Knowledge of small-business tax law is not tested on CPA exams, · IRS "publications" focus mostly on what you cannot deduct, not on what you CAN. Here's how your business can qualify for Small Home Based Business Tax Savings... In order to be in compliance with the IRS," you must: 1. Be able to Prove that you Intend to make a Profit. o Write a Business Plan o Estimate when you expect your business to become profitable o Continually work to improve and expand your business 2. Tend to your business on a Regular and Consistent basis o Regular and consistent activity is much more important than the number of hours. o As little as 41 hour, 4-to-5 days a week is sufficient for the Tax Court o Document your business activities in a day planner with ledgible notations. 3. Maintain Accurate Records o Document All Business Income Deposit all business income into a Business-only checking account Keep a running log showing, for each check received: Date received Amount received Source of income (company name, etc.) Purpose of income received (i.e., Products Sold, Commissions, Bonuses, etc.) o Document All Business Expenses Use a business-only checking account for all business expenses The purpose is to keep personal funds and business funds from co-mingling. Use one or more credit cards exclusively for business expenses Keep from co-mingling personal and business charges Interest and fees on business-only cards are Tax Deductible. o Document All Your Business Activities A Daily Record is acceptable documentation(IF it is accurate and complete) Show regular and consistent activity(as opposed to sporadic, inconsistent activity) In my next article I will discuss what exactly you are able todeduct to take advantage of operating a small home based business formaximum tax savings.
