If you are a business owner then you can take many business related tax deductions. You can deduct the cost of operating your business if you are a business that operates to make a profit. You do not necessarily make a profit but must run a business that is attempting too.

Operating a Home Based Business

If you use part of your home to operate your business then you can deduct a percentage of home related expenses such as utilities, phone, mortgage, insurance, and even maintenance on the home.

Vehicle Deductions

If you use your personal vehicle for business purposes then you can deduct car related expenses such as mileage and car repair. If your business owns a vehicle then you can deduct the entire amount of the vehicle. You are currently able to deduct up to 58.5 cents per mile for business travel. That can add up to a lot of savings for your business.

Payroll

If you have employees that you pay to help operate your business then those expenses are deductible as well. If you currently offer and contribute to employee retirement plans, those can be considered a business expense.. You can also deduct the insurance premiums paid on these employees.

Rent or Mortgage

Are you wondering when to expect your tax refund or where your income tax refund is?

Once you have filed your tax return you will be given a date as to when to expect your tax refund based on the tax refund schedule. This schedule is based on the date range your return was filed and accepted by the IRS.

Also the tax refund schedule will give you an estimated date for a direct deposit transaction if you elected to have it direct deposited or an estimated date of when the paper check will be mailed.

If your looking for a faster return for your refund, e-filing and direct deposit are the fastest options available.

However, there are online services available to check the status of your tax refund. You will need the following information to access the status of your refund:

• Your Social Security Number
• Your Filing Status
• How Much Your Tax Refund is

If you have e-filed your tax return you can check the status of your return within 72 hours after it was accepted. However, if you mailed your tax return you will have to wait 3-4 weeks from the date it was accepted by the IRS.

We suggest using an online tax service such as TurboTax to file your tax return for guaranteed accuracy and access to check the status of your refund. This service will provide you with the date your return was submitted, accepted by the IRS, and the expected date of your refund.
