The Internal Revenue Service reminds all home based business operators to follow appropriate guidelines when determining whether an activity is a home based business or a hobby, an activity not engaged in for profit.

In order to educate taxpayers regarding their filing obligations, the IRS guidelines explain the rules for determining if The Savings Highway qualifies as a business and what limitations apply if the activity is not a business. Incorrect deduction of hobby expenses account for a portion of the overstated adjustments, deductions, exemptions and credits that add up to $30 billion per year in unpaid taxes, according to IRS estimates.

In general, taxpayers may deduct ordinary and necessary expenses for conducting a Savings Highway business. An ordinary expense is an expense that is common and accepted in the taxpayer’s trade or business. A necessary expense is one that is appropriate for the business. Generally, an activity qualifies as a business if it is carried on with the reasonable expectation of earning a profit.

Auditors are being told to use several tests to determine if your “activity” is really a “hobby” or a “business.” Hobbies get a few tax breaks, but home-business owners get substantianly more!

If they can reclassify you as a hobby, the IRS gets more of your money.

IMPORTANT: As A Savings Highway representative. One of the tests that is not well understood, has to do with how much time you spend on the activity.

You need to prove “Material Participation” in your Savings Highway opportunity. Here are seven ways to prove you qualify for the tax savings:

1: If you work your business at least 500 hours per year. Tax Savings Allowed

2. If you work your business at least 100 hours per year AND no one else working in your business puts in more time than you do.Tax Savings Allowed

3. The taxpayer does substantially all the work in the activity.Tax Savings Allowed

4. The activity is a significant participation activity (SPA), and the sum of SPAs in which the taxpayer works 100-500 hours exceeds 500 hours for the year.Tax Savings Allowed

5. The taxpayer materially participated in the activity in any 5 of the prior 10 years.Tax Savings Allowed

6. The activity is a personal service activity and the taxpayer materially participated in that activity in any 3 prior years.Tax Savings Allowed

7. Based on all of the facts and circumstances, the taxpayer participates in the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis during such year. However, this test only applies if the taxpayer works at least 100 hours in the activity, no one else works more hours than the taxpayer in the activity, and no one else receives compensation for managing the activity.Tax Savings Allowed

In order to determine wether the Savings Highway is a qualified home based business or hobby, taxpayers should consider the following factors:

* Does the time and effort put into the activity indicate an intention to make a profit?

* Does the taxpayer depend on income from the activity?

* If there are losses, are they due to circumstances beyond the taxpayer’s control or did they occur in the start-up phase of the business?

* Has the taxpayer changed methods of operation to improve profitability?

* Does the taxpayer or his/her advisors have the knowledge needed to carry on the activity as a successful business?

* Has the taxpayer made a profit in similar activities in the past?

* Does the activity make a profit in some years?

* Can the taxpayer expect to make a profit in the future from the appreciation of assets used in the activity?

The IRS presumes that an home based business is carried on for profit if it makes a profit during at least three of the last five tax years, including the current year — at least two of the last seven years for activities that consist primarily of breeding, showing, training or racing horses.

If an activity is not for profit, losses from that activity may not be used to offset other income. An activity produces a loss when related expenses exceed income. The limit on not-for-profit losses applies to individuals, partnerships, estates, trusts, and S corporations. It does not apply to corporations other than S corporations.

Tax savings for hobby activities are claimed as itemized deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040). These deductions must be taken in the following order and only to the extent stated in each of three categories:

* Tax savings that a taxpayer may take for personal as well as home based business activities, such as home mortgage interest and taxes, may be taken in full.

* Tax savings that don’t result in an adjustment to basis, such as advertising, insurance premiums and wages, may be taken next, to the extent gross income for the activity is more than the deductions from the first category.

* Tax savings that reduce the basis of property, such as depreciation and amortization, are taken last, but only to the extent gross income for the activity is more than the deductions taken in the first two categories.

As you can see from the guidelines established by the IRS qualifying as a legitimate home based business such as The Savings Highway are extremely straight forward. (Work at your business opportunity for 100 hours a year, and intend to make a profit). Turn your everyday activities (Eating and Driving) into substantial tax savings when you join the Savings Highway today.

Question: payroll taxes vs income taxes? read on?

I thought these were the same, federal % based on your tax bracket + Social Security,Medicare etc. am i wrong

Answer: Well…..partially. Payroll taxes encompass your federal and state tax withholding (which you tell your employer how much to take out with the W-4 form), social security and medicare taxes, and a lot of other taxes, such as disability insurance, and also unemployment taxes (which is paid by the employer, not the employee). Income taxes is just the federal and state (and city, where applicable) taxes that is determined based on your income from all sources, not just your job.
