Mass DOR. Life Events (Student, Writer, etc.) Small Business Saturday (& Taxes) By Kaye George I like the concept that’s being promoted this year.

Small Business Saturday (& Taxes)

Friday is the day to camp out and burst through the doors of major merchandisers. The people who wrote the SBS ad campaign realize this, they’re not fighting that tradition, but they want you to consider patronizing small businesses the next day. (I didn't realize this concept started in 2010 by American Express. I would have thought some small business organization would have started it.) Small businesses are good, right? If you’re a writer, you’re a small business, too. There are, surprisingly, a few writers who don’t know the special rules that apply to them. There is a well-known Hobby Rule that says you can't take deductions if you don't make a profit in 3 out of the past 5 years. The bottom line is that writers can take deductions for an indeterminate number of years, since even the IRS knows how hard it is to make money as an author. I'll mention that I'm not an authority. Here are the highlights. 2012 Southern New England Community Action Conference.

Will You Get Audited by the IRS?

Probably very few of us. The numbers probably diminish when you start asking the folks who have undergone an IRS audit. I've been audited twice (the easy paper variety) and I still appreciate the IRS (love might be too strong a word), but my tune would probably change on a full-fledged audited with a revenue agent. It'd be easy to cast the IRS as the villain, as a heartless entity seeking to punish honest hardworking people, but at the end of the day, the IRS is concerned about one thing: generating revenue. They don't make the tax laws; they simply enforce and collect on them. IRS Ed Video. Link & Learn Taxes.
