Ang pagsubok na aktwal na nalalapat

A business expense has to be ordinary (normal for your line of work) and necessary (helpful and appropriate for it). That's a broad standard, and most of what creators spend money on clears it comfortably. The problems come from three specific places.

Kung saan ang mga tagalikha makakuha ng nahuli

• Ang Dress! The rule isn't "did I wear it for work" — it's whether the item is unsuitable for everyday wear. Costumes at malinaw shoot-lamang piraso ay defendable. Isang damit na ikaw ay magsuot din out ay hindi, gayunpaman tapat na binili mo ito para sa isang shoot.
• Ang Grooming! Regular na hinamon bilang personal, dahil para sa karamihan ng mga tao ito ay. Strongest kapag nakatali sa isang tiyak na shoot at malinaw na lampas sa karaniwang pagpapanatili.
• Ang mga ito ay mga mixed-use items. Ang iyong telepono, ang iyong internet, ang iyong apartment. Humingi ng tapat na negosyo share, hindi ang lahat ng ito. Ang isang 100% claim sa iyong tanging telepono ay ang isa lamang ang pinakamadaling bagay para sa sinuman na magtanong.

Ang mga taong nakalimutan ng mga tao

Ang under-claiming ay karaniwang mas masahol pa kaysa sa over-claiming. Agency komisyon, chatter at editor pagbabayad, takedown serbisyo, ang uri na ito ng software, accountant bayad, business insurance, mileage sa isang shoot, at ang depreciation sa kagamitan na binili mo taon na ang nakakaraan at pa rin gamitin - lahat ng deductible, lahat ng karaniwang kalimutan.

Keep ang papeles

Ang isang deduction na hindi mo maipapakita ay isang deduction na mawawala mo kung may magtanong. Resibo, petsa, halaga, at isang linya ng tala tungkol sa layunin ng negosyo. Ang "Amazon $340" ay isang problema; ang "wardrobe para sa 14 Marso shoot" ay hindi.
