I currently own and run an internet dog boutique, and really enjoy it, but it just doesn’t bring in the big bucks.. I only started 9 months ago, so it hasn’t been forever, but it only makes me a part-time wage, less than 1000 dollars profit a month (it varies, anywhere from 500 – 800 in general). That’s how much I would make working in my city part time, but I just really enjoy it, like I said. My dad already owns and runs his own kitchen cabinet shop, but business has been slow going there.. I’m 22, by the way. I don’t have a degree as of yet, although I am in college.. I don’t think I want to do anything dog-related, but maybe.. My parents also want to open up a specialized sandwich shop, so we’ve thought of that also. Any other ideas? No bakeries or restaurants, they’re just too hard.. Also thought of commercial cleaning services and courier services, as well as daycares, but nothing has really clicked. We really are in the very beginning stages of talk/ideas. Thanx 4ur ideas

Home-based Business. What if I have next to nothing coming in for how much I am deducting in taxes?

I am looking into setting up a home based Business as a part time thing. I have a day job and I would like to do this music endeavor on the side. I want this to be legitimate but I know I will be making very little money and writing off a lot in tax deductions. Does anyone have experience in with this type of scenario? Is there a reasonable expectation that IRS has around how much revenue needs to come in for how much you are writing off? I don’t want the Business to appear fraudulent although I have more to gain from a tax deduction basis.
