A Step in the Write Direction
January 19, 2015
Update: I don’t like freeways!
I’m fine once I get on them, but I always fear getting on them. While crossing the overpass, before turning onto the
freeway, I always look to see how much traffic there is. If I see a lot of cars,
I cringe and pray that someone will let me in. They always do. Recently, while
taking the freeway out of necessity, I thought of how often my life is like
that. I look ahead, think of all the possible problems that could be out there, and cringe. But every time, when I have faith, God
lets me onto His highway and I can go on from there.
Thought for Today: Talent is
God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be
careful (John Wooden).
Song
for Today:
Had I a thousand tongues to sing,
The half could ne’er be told
Of love so rich, so full and free,
Of blessings manifold.
“Let All the People Praise Thee,” Lelia N.

Income Tax Tips (Schedule C

Line
22, Supplies.
The list is endless here: stapler/staples, paper clips, paper, envelopes, toner,
pens/pencils, day planners, business card holders, software—anything you buy specifically for use in your business. I
find it helps to keep two sets of these supplies—one for the family and one for
your office.
Line
23, Taxes and licenses.
Some states have a personal property tax for items purchased for a business.
Others require a license to operate a business out of the home. Check your
city’s zoning laws.
Line
24, Travel, meals, and entertainment.
This line covers such things as airline tickets, rental cars, taxi fares,
shuttles, and curbside baggage fees. Meals include out-of-town and overnight
stays, as well as taking someone out for a business luncheon or dinner.
Entertainment can include taking a client to a play, a sporting event, a
concert, or another activity. Only a certain percentage of the cost for meals
and entertainment is deductible, however. Any cleaning or laundry expenses while
on a business trip will also be included here.
Line
25, Utilities.
This is for a rented office space only. (Utilities for a home office are
included on Form 8829.)
(Next week we will cover miscellaneous deductions such as postage,
books/ magazines, etc.)
Have
a good week spreading the
gospel
through the printed page.
