Will there be tax deductions for my LLC business? Sir.M.Messervy 07-12-2007

I have been thinking about starting my own home business. I
do not plan to quit my day job. The plan is to create an
LLC. It might be quite awhile before I make any money. I
just read that if you have a home business some items, home
office, business related travel and education, computers,
etc. are tax deductible.

My question is does the business have to make a certain
abount of money to qualify for this deduction? And do these
deductions still apply to an LLC?

Sometimes I don't mind answering homework questions, so
here goes:

A: Maybe, and "What's an LLC?" Where in the Internal Revenue
Code is an LLC defined?

Harlan,

Thanks, I think.

I've often been called a lot of things, but this is a new one :^|

The IRC doesn't define an LLC, but every state has a letter
ruling from the IRS, determining how LLC's are treated under
the IRC.
