1040 Schedule C

Overview

Schedule C is applicable to many different types of businesses. Clients vary in the range of income and types of deductions; however, the basic concepts are the same. All income must be reported on the tax return, and all expenses need to be ordinary and necessary in order to claim a deduction.

It will discuss requirements for starting a business and explain, rules and recordkeeping for income and expenses, including regular business expenses, home office expenses, self-employment tax, and other items.
