 Additional Info

  Business Use of Home

  Need total square footage of Home and square footage used for business.  NOTE: It is difficult to classify a room as exclusively used for business.

 

  Day Care Meals

  Need total (annual) number of children eating breakfast, AM snack, lunch. PM snack, and dinner.

 

  Business vs Hobby

If you loose money every year the IRS may classify your biz a hobby or socializing.  This would result in income being reported as "Other Income" on your 1040, and deductions limited to Schedule A limitations.

 

  Self Employment Tax

In addition to  income tax you pay approx. 15% tax on biz profit.  WI does not have a self employment tax.

 

Depreciation

For most small business purposes it may be advantageous to depreciate items purchased over their life rather than using the deduction all at once (sec 179)

 

Was this your first year in business?
