Should Everyone Claim Income Tax Deductions?
I work from home and my income tax deductions are minimal. However, as long as I am making more of a profit than I am claiming in deductions I should be just fine. I am an honest person, but the IRS knows that many people are not. When it comes to reporting how much money you made, and claiming income tax deductions, make sure you are as truthful as you possibly can be. Even leaving a couple hundred dollars worth of income off of your income tax return can spell big problems for you. Say for instance, a client paid you two hundred dollars to do some work for him. At the end of the year he should send you a form 1099 which will say that he paid you two hundred dollars. A copy of that 1099 will go to the IRS, so they better see that you’ve claimed that income. There’s nothing funny about income tax evasion, and what will happen to you if you’re caught.
