发帖数: 237 | 1 A lot of people here with double-income are starting their own small
business to save tax expenses. I wonder what's the benefits to start a small
business? What kind of the expenses can be move to the business (i.e., air
tickets, mileages, etc?) I thought as an business owner, I still need to pay
self-employment tax and other social taxes. don't understand why would so
many people use the small business as a tax shelter.
Also, how much would a local CPA charge on the consultation to save on fed
and state taxes? | h****3

e.g. mileage, meal expense (w/ clients), use a portion of home as home
office, phone and utilities charges, etc.
all of the above are possible expenses you can take if you own a business.
if you're really serious about liability issue, set up a corp is another
reason ppl to protect personal interest.
small
air
pay
