Tax and home business

Hi!
Welcome to the forums!
You are entitled to get some tax benefits if your business expenditures has been more than that of business income. You can subtract this loss from your total income (from other sources) in a given year. If the loss exceeds your total earning in a given year, then you'll qualify for Net Operating Loss. Once you qualify for it, you can use it to lower your tax liability for the previous and future years.

It will be better if you could get in touch with a tax adviser. He or she will go through your financial documents and let you know what kind of tax benefits you may get.
