At the end of the year, I just transfer the millage over to my accounting ledger.

Everything from gas, electricity, long distance and garbage pick-up are allowable deductions. Be sure that you keep your payment receipts in your accounting ledger.

Many home business owners pay members of their family to help with the home business. Be sure to keep track of the wages that were paid to employees or family members.
Entertainment Expenses
I don't have too much to deduct in this category, but several times a year I will meet a potential client over dinner. Keep track of your dinner expenses, including tips...this is all deductable also.
Income
In addition to all your deductable expenses, you will also need to keep track of any money that you make with your business.
In closing, simply keep track of all your millage, utilities, office supplies, labor and income in your accounting ledger. Be sure to attach a copy of your receipts. Total up each category at the end of the year and take the entire booklet into your tax preparer.
You will find that having a home business can be hassle free at tax time if you have taken the time to keep track of your expenditures and income.
Best wishes for your future success and prosperity!
