| answered a question | Can we deduct veterinary expenses for our own dogs as they need to be healthy in order to run our business? I have run my own home-based business for 13+ years not (not Rover). Basically, anything that is necessary to run a home office is acceptable, i.e. portions of the phone, internet, home expenses (water, electricity, mortgage, insurance) based on the square footage of your office area, etc. Depending on what types of services you offer, a portion of your car insurance & mileage can be deducted. Pretty much anything you purchase specifically to run your business (from business cards to poop bags) can be written off. Generally, things that you would use anyway, such as vet care for your own pet(s) would not be a write off. That said, whether or not you USE all the write-offs will depend on your actual income. You do not want to show (much of) a loss. For example, when I made roughly $20,000, I did not use the home office expenses. However, when I made 100,000+ I was scrambling for every write-off I could find! In the end, when in question, always consult with a tax professional. They will also know the ins & outs of the current year's tax laws. |
