Want some helpful small business tax advice? Did you know that your Uncle Sam will actually pay you to start a home based business? That’s right, Congress has approved over 100 tax benefits that are available ONLY to home based business owners. These deductions, found in the Federal Tax Code, are 100% legal and 100% audit proof.Before we look at a few of these deductions and how much money this small business tax advice can put in your pocket, let’s look at how much is actually left out of your paycheck. While you know it is not as much as you would like, do you realize how much of your income goes to taxes? When you add up federal, state, country, gas, property, social security, unemployment, etc. the total comes to about 45%. By the time you pay your monthly housing, healthcare, food and transportation costs, you are left with about 20% to pay all others expenses and to enjoy life.Not a pretty picture. Fortunately, you can change that picture with a home based business. I can hear you saying; “I don’t have time for a home business I barely have time for my family and friends now.” And besides, you’re thinking, I certainly don’t have the time or desire to go to meetings or presentations to learn how to start-up and run a home based business.

Are you on Facebook? Do you have a Twitter account? Do you use Youtube? Ever considered starting a Blog? If you answered yes to one or more of those questions I can show you how to turn these tools into a home business.Aside from the money you will make with a home based business, here are 5 significant tax breaks that can put $300-$500/month in your pocket.1.
