FAQ

Real estate dealers are entitled to the much the same deductions as any other business owner. They can deduct all the expenses of owning the vacant land they buy and sell, including interest, taxes, and other carrying costs. If you are a sole proprietor, these are deducted on IRS Schedule C.

Individuals may deduct qualified contributions of up to 100 percent of their adjusted gross income. A corporation may deduct qualified contributions of up to 25 percent of its taxable income. Contributions that exceed that amount can carry over to the next tax year.

List your total itemized deductions, including charitable contributions. If that amount exceeds the standard deduction amount for your filing status, you should itemize.

Income tax strategies—Donations to 501(c)(3) public charities qualify for an itemized deduction from income. Because the tax rate is then applied to a reduced income, this can minimize your overall tax liability.

First, the IRS only allows you to deduct $5,000 worth of furniture if you are just starting your business. Anything more could be considered capital costs. You also can only deduct furniture that is necessary and that is actually used in your business.
