rckpenguin asked:


I have been trying to get a stay at home job for 7 months now. I purchased a new computer, paid fees to guru.com, and got internet and phone installed for that purpose. We have also done many improvements to the home, which include the area I’m using to look for a job. I have tried to figure it all out from IRS.gov but it doesn’t make much sense to me. I have only done one project which paid $39 on 12/30/07. (for which I was considered an independent contractor) How should I claim this? Thanks in advance!

    Any start up costs have to be amortized and cannot be immediately written off.

    However, you should be able to write off you regular expenses like your business portion of internet and phone service.

    Your home improvements can be depreciated if you claim a home office deduction.
