Don’t Overlook these Two Commonly Missed Tax Deductions2013-02-27 12:20:00 (читать в оригинале)]]> This guest post is brought to you by Outright.com, an alternative to Mint for business. Sign up today for a less taxing tax time! Need a little help with your taxes? You may think you’ve entered everydeduction possible, but small business owners don’t always know all the thingsthey can deduct. After all, you’re a business owner, not a tax expert! But that’s why we’re here: to make sure you’ve got all the financial helpyou need! There are a few tax deductions that almost every small business ownermisses that could potentially save them tons of money. Let’s go over them andsee if they could help you this year. Mileage Even the most “homebody” of small business owners makes business trips. Well,maybe not “business trips” in the traditional sense of leaving on a jet plane,but more along the lines of “trips for your business.” It could be a quick runto the store for supplies or yet another jaunt to the post office. No matterthe trip, you used some gas and put a bit of wear and tear on your vehicle toget there. You may not have realized it, but you can deduct these expenses on yourtaxes. Although a quick 5-mile trip, at 55.5 cents per mile, may not seem likea huge tax break, multiply that by 1000 miles over the course of a year andsuddenly you see where it would make a difference. The main thing to remember (as with all your tax deductions) is to saveyour receipts. It’s one thing to claim that trip you took to Florida for abusiness convention, it’s another entirely when the IRS says “prove it!” Checkout Outright for howto track and deduct mileage. Home Office One of the most underutilized deductions out there is the home officededuction – deducting a portion of your rent/mortgage and utilities that youpay for your home office. Rumors swirl that this deduction is the most likelyto get you audited. But that’s not so... if you’re careful to play by therules. To take the home office deduction, the area you use for your homebusiness must be primarily used for business purposes. In other words, youcan’t just set up on your kitchen table and expect to get the deduction. If youhave a spare bedroom and the only reason you go inside is to work, then you canclaim the deduction. If this is also the kids’ playroom, though, then you’dbetter not try. While this deduction is helpful in of itself, it can also lead to furthertax help. For example, once you establish you have a home office, you can takeother common deductions associated with an office. This includes utilities likeelectricity, Internet, and even water. While you can’t claim all the utilities,the portion you do will still make a big difference when it’s time to pay…orget a check! As with mileage, make sure you keep proper documentation. There are someunfortunate false claims and the IRS won’t take kindly to anyone trying to pullone over their eyes. If you keep all your paperwork in order, though, youshould be fine. Check out the Outright Help Center for more detailedinformation about the homeoffice deduction.
