Business start-up expenses are generally capital expenditures, but you
can elect to deduct up to $5K of business start-up costs on your tax
return. If your total startup cost exceeds $50K , the $5K deduction is
reduced by the amount exceeding $50K. The remaining ****tion must be
amortized. Keep in mind that certain expenses must be amortized over 5
years, including legal expenses and expenses for setting up a business
structure (LLC, etc...)
Start-up expenses are incurred while creating an active trade or for
investigating the creation of a business or trade. To find out more
about common start-up expenses that you can deduct, take a look at
