RSS FeedTaxTip about StartUp Expenses that you can Deduct |
| Start-up expenses are costs incurred while creating a business or for investigating the creation of an active trade. This includes expenses incurred when acquiring an existing activity.
Business start-up expenses are usually capitalized, but you can elect to deduct up to $5K of business start-up costs right away. A start-up cost can be amortized if it is an expense that you could normally deduct if it was incurred while operating your existing trade or business, or if it is a cost you pay or incur before the day your business begins. |
