Business Income & Expense Organizer

To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your field of business. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your business. An expense does not have to be indispensible to be considered necessary.

To file with New Wave Tax Academy, you need to have a breakdown of your deductible business expenses subtotaled by category.

*** If you have a collection of reciepts to organize and/or bank and credit accounts to reconcile, we can assist with these activites, however these acrtivites are not part of tax preparation and are considered bookkeeping. Bookkeeping fees are charged in addition to tax preparation services.

If you have other business expenses that do not appear to fit in any of the expense categories listed above, please list them below individually.

CAR & TRUCK EXPENSES

 

You may deduct car/truck expenses for local or extended business travel including:

• between one workplace and another
• to meet clients or customers
• to visit suppliers or procure materials
• to attend meetings
• for other ordinary and necessary managerial or operational tasks or needs of your business

Note: You can not deduct the costs of driving your car or truck between your home and your main or regular workplace. These costs are personal commuting expenses. You should have kept a record of your business-related mileage over the year. We will use the IRS's standard mileage rate of 67 cent per mile for 2024 for your deduction of business-related travel. This rate accounts for gas, repairs, maintenance, depreciation, and auto insurance (but not interest on a car loan). If you do not have a record of mileage or unsure how to calculate your total, contact our office.
