Deductions & credits
No.
You don't pay taxes on the money you put into the business and it is also not deductible.
The reason is that it is assumed that you have already paid taxes on that money. The money you put into the business is considered your equity in the business, not income. You will, however, have to pay taxes on your profit.
You should be deliberate in your transfers. If you get in the habit of moving small amounts of money from one account to the other for no apparent reason you could "pierce the corporate veil ". That means that the government could decide that you are not operating as a separate entity, and revoke your limited liability protection.
You can make loans to your business and charge interest, but that will trigger personal income from the interest earned and a deduction for the interest paid.
