Protect Your Business With Meticulous Records
Protect Your Business With Meticulous Records

To be deductible, every expense on your tax return might have to be defended if your company is subject to an audit. Plus, failing to operate in a businesslike manner, complete with good records, might lead the IRS to deem the activity a hobby rather than a business, in which case your deductions may be limited or disallowed.
