This confectioner business will be on a cash basis. I am working from home. In Sept., 2020 I purchased supplies where I keep them in a dedicated space in my home. I made many chocolates to practice and give away for sampling in 2020. My first sale will be in April, 2021. #1. When did I officially begin my business? #2. In which tax year should I claim the supplies? (I will be operating on a cash basis. No major purchases were made in 2020.) #3. In which tax year and in which month should I deduct expenses for my home-"office"? Thank you!
