You are running a home based business and tax time is
coming up. Are you aware that you may be entitled to tax
deductions in your home? There are many expenses that are
related to running a home business from your office space
to the cost of child care. You may have a room that you
keep samples or inventory in for resale.
There are certain factors that determine whether you are
able to deduct home expenses. First, you will need to
prove that you are self-employed, if customers come into
your home, the nature of your business and activity, how
you utilize the space in your home for your business, if it
is a part of your home, or a separate structure.
The tax rules that govern these deductions need to be
understood in regards to your home and business. You can
find these rules in the IRS code under the dis-allowance
section. Once you have established your qualifications,
you will then determine any exceptions that you get to
claim.
There are going to be some rules that you will need to know
and the limits they may place on your actual deductions.
You need to know the type of expenses that are subject to
the code restrictions, what can be deducted and what must
be satisfied to make it qualify. There are some specific
rules that apply to day care expenses, along with other
restrictions, too many to name.
There are two things you need to determine when you claim a
deduction, one is if you meet the required business use and
what the limitations are concerning them.
Any allowable deduction must relate to the use of your home
for your business. For example, if you are using a portion
of your home for making profit that is not a business, then
you cannot claim a deduction. The space needs to be used
exclusively for business use, not personal use, to qualify.
Once you have established your entitlement for a deduction
for expenses, then you need to deal with the rules that set
limits on how much you can deduct. There will be some
expenses you may claim in full, then there are those that
will based on a percentage, generally 30%.
This is only a basic outline of business home deductions,
you will want to do further research before you make any
deductions on your taxes.
