TaxMama’s® TaxQuips Is Your Business a Hobby?

Let me explain why this is important from a tax reporting perspective.
A business can deduct all its legitimate operating expenses from the business’ sales and income – either on a Schedule C, or a business entity return (partnership, corporaton, etc.) and deduct losses, as appropriate.
