What Tax Deductions can You Avail of for your Online Business?
You will need to file your taxes even if the transactions of your business are mostly offline, partly online or completely online. No matter what kind of business you have, you are in the same footing as all business owners when it comes to tax season. You are still required by the IRS to report all of your income, file your tax return and pay your taxes and other applicable expenses. In a positive light, even though your business may be a completely online effort, many of the same tax benefits and even loopholes that apply to regular offline ventures will also apply to online businesses. Essentially, identifying what loopholes and exceptions that applies to your company is often the tricky part otherwise, you will run into an IRS trouble.
Having a home office is one of the major tax breaks that online business owners can benefit from. There is a big chance that business owners can qualify for substantial tax deductions as most of the time, online businesses are done at home. Business owners just have to remember that using the house regularly and exclusively for business purposes will make them avail of the applicable deductions. A dining room used as an office during the day won't qualify under this type of tax exemption.
Any given space or room must be mainly used for business endeavors such as client meetings and daily operations, for it to qualify as a home office. You may want to keep it simple instead of dividing the use of a particular room between personal and business matters. For instance, it's a better alternative to claim that the room is solely used for business rather than say that 75% of the time, it's used for business operations and 25% of the time, for family gatherings. This strategy will keep you away from probable IRS problems.
You should also prove to the IRS that your home office is your primary place for business. Entrepreneurs are not prone to violating this condition as online businesses are largely done at home. This requisite is just presented for the IRS to ensure that activities done in the home office are not also conducted in rented offices.
These two main requisites, when met, will definitely allow you to deduct many costs associated with your office and home. Among other things, these costs include rent or mortgage payments, insurance costs, utility bills and property taxes. You can not, however, deduct all of your rent or mortgage payment. This is usually computed with the use of percentages. For example, you'll be able to deduct $250 from a from your monthly mortgage payment of $10, 000 if 25% of your house is utilized as home office. Therefore, every month you would be able to deduct $250 which calculates to $3, 000 per year. This sort of calculation is a general rule when determining how much you should deduct on all other expenses related to your home. Keeping all of your records for your online business will definitely go a long way towards avoiding an IRS problem.
There are also restrictions enforced on online business tax deductions. For instance, you can't have accumulated deductions that will lead to a net loss in a given year. Technically, you cannot claim for a net loss equivalent to the $10, 000 difference of an annual revenue of $50, 000 and total exemptions of $60, 000. What you can do in this case, however, is declare a net gain of zero. Darrin T.
