질문
I'm a sole proprietor and pay personal expenses out of my business bank account. Should I include the money used for personal expenses as part of my business income? Can I write these expenses off?
대답
  • You would include the money used to pay personal expenses in your gross business income when your business earned it.
  • You wouldn't write off personal expenses as business expenses because they're not ordinary and necessary costs of carrying on your trade or business.
  • Personal, living, or family expenses are generally not deductible.
  • It's a good idea to keep separate business and personal accounts as this makes it easier to keep records.
  • Some expenses, like expenses for your vehicle, can be for both business and personal purposes. You must divide these expenses between business and personal use.
