Home Business Tax Deductions is for anyone who has a home business or is thinking of starting one and wants to know how to structure their business and take advantage of all available tax deductions. This book explains how to maximize their business deductions—quickly, easily, and legally. 

Whether you’re just starting your home business or it’s well established, Home Business Tax Deductions is indispensable to your financial success. It covers deductions for start-up and operating expenses, travel and meals, home offices, equipment, vehicles, medical expenses, and more.

In addition, this edition has guidance on how home business owners can prepare when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expires on December 31, 2025. It also explains how home business owners can protect themselves from a newly-expanded IRS, which has hired thousands of new revenue agents to audit businesses.
