Home based business tax write offs?
I just started network marketing home business. And my question is what can i write off for the taxes? I know that I can write off millage, office equipment. What else can I write off. How do I write off a cell bill I use for personal and business? Any sites where I can find this?
1. Mileage for business
2. Office equipment is capital expense. You can get section 179 deduction.
3. Home office rent for part of home office space that you use exclusively for business.
4. Telephone, if one phone, then generally no deduction. You may use another phone exclusively for business.
5. Internet connection for business use.

See IRS Pubs 535 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p535.pdf and 334 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p535.pdf for starters.
The basic rule is that you can deduct any reasonable and necessary expenses in the production of taxable income. However when it comes to a home-based business, additional rules and restrictions apply. Instead of trying to go into a long list of what you can and cannot do, see IRS Pub 587 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p587.pdf for more information.References :

yes, request publication 34 at http://www.irs.gov for answers
however, unless the space you use of your home is not exclusively for the business your household expenses will not qualify
the expenses of your business usually refer to whatever it takes to make whatever money you expend to earn the income
you will file Sch's C and Se with your 1040, se tax is approxl 15.3% of your 'net' and half of the is allowed as a credit to reduce your gross incomeReferences :
