Business & farm

Yes, The IRS allows taxpayers to write off the loss from a business on your personal tax return.  Example, if you have a regular “day” job, you can use the loss from a side business to offset your W2 or other income.   For more information, please see; Taking Business Tax Deductions.  I have included instructions below on how to enter the information for your business in TurboTax.
