As
April 15th approaches, many of us are looking for ways to maximize
deductions on our tax bills. But, did you know that, as a home based
business owner, you might be able to deduct a percentage your day-to-day
household expenses?
Below
are just a few of the expenses that may be considered tax deductible
under the IRS Home Office deduction*:
-
Real estate property taxes
-
Mortgage interest
-
Rent payments (if you dont own your home)
-
Utilities
-
Homeowners or Renter's insurance
-
Depreciation on your home (if you own)
-
Painting, and repairs
There
are two essential requirements you must meet in order to qualify
for the deduction:
1.
You must use that part of your home regularly and exclusively
for business purposes.
2.
The business part of your home must be either your principal place
of business or the location where you meet with clients or customers
in the normal course of conducting business.
So,
if you're thinking about launching a home business this year, be
sure to start by keeping good records so that you can capitalize
on the tax savings next April!
Just
another perk of working at home!
Regards,

business concept is the greatest thing since sliced bread!
Taking all the work out of finding good service persons is
SUCH a blessing. That makes getting your project done much
less of a hassle."
