I have a regular day job (get W2) and a part time job as a Cottage Food Operator in CA where I bake sweets from my home kitchen and sell directly to restaurants and individual customers, I charge no sales tax and I have no employees, also my city does not require me to purchase business license but I'm permitted by the county health department to run the baking from home under my Cottage Food Operator permit. I file my taxes as a married couple yearly. I use office space and the kitchen to run my business. Turbo Tax program suggested to use form C and I do not see where to enter the kitchen and storage area of my home but I see Office Expense. It will be helpful to know which parts of C form to enter my info. I have these costs
- Initial cost of starting the business (permit fees, insurance, training, etc.)
- Bought a commercial oven and 2 extra refrigerators and kitchen table and shelves rack.
- Use car for delivery and get supplies
- Buy ingredients & supplies for my product
- Use cell phone, internet access, website fees.
