After you file

Unfortunately, line 18 is not reported on a detailed form when submitted to the IRS.  The line is calculated based on your entries made while preparing the return.  Maintaining an accurate record of all expenses claimed when filing a Schedule C is essential.  

 

Office expenses are items paid to maintain your office.  For example:

 

  • business membership fees to superstores like Costco and Sam's club
  • Shredding services
  • Software
  • Office cleaning
  • Minor handicap-access expenses (not including renovations)
  • Office decoration
