Saving Taxes with a Craft Business based at Home

By Ethan O. Tanner

By now you know how wonderful it can be to work from home, but do you understand how many home based business tax compensations are available? Many people operate home based businesses in the United States just to take advantage of the many tax deductions.

To receive many and large deductions on your tax return, claim the use of your home in your business. It is obligatory to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. To obtain more information on this, the IRS has pamphlets or downloadable information.

Use one room or part of a room specifically for your business and receive a significant home based business tax deduction. This may include a portion of your utility bills specifically related to that area of your house as well as any applicable home improvements.

The use of office services can provide you with a key home based business tax deduction. This includes your telephone. If you use a separate phone or a cell phone exclusively for your business, then the costs associated with these phones may be a tax deduction.

However, if you use telephone equipment or services in both personal and business environments, it is more difficult to establish a tax deduction. It's not impossible, but you must meet some fairly strict requirements and maintain good records.

The use of your car in your home based business gives you the possibility for another excellent business tax deduction. Excellent records must be kept in order to deduct mileage and car-related expenses that you acquire while conducting business. As with any type of business incidental costs may happen.

You can also take deductions for purchases of items such as office supplies, postage, advertising materials and expenses. You can potentially deduct even more by hiring your children or spouse to work as employees for you. This enables you to deduct health insurance premiums and other typical employee-related expenses.

With proper advice and good record keeping, your home based business can become even more successful. Consulting an experienced tax advisor or an accountant, you will be able to find out about the many home based business tax deductions available to you. Tax savings will raise your profit and confidence in your home craft business.
