@VolvoGirl Sorry. That first response wasn't to your message. I should have been better at tagging comments.
I'm not trying to really avoid or dodge the tax. I just don't want to max out in expense deductions, the way you can with personal deductions. In the past I've been very timid about declaring expenses at all, and I know I can be more assertive. I want to maximize the legitimate expenses that the government allows in order to encourage small business growth. It can be a bit hard to ask detailed questions in a forum without writing a full dissertation. So I appreciate your patience and your responses!
