It’s almost that time of year again. I’ve vowed now to let the weekend go by without doing my taxes. As of today all those who haven’t done their taxes has a bit over a month before they’re due. If you run your own website for your craft business, there are some things that are deductible that you’ll want to remember to include on your taxes, such as:
- Domain name fees
- Web hosting fee
- Online service fees related to your online business (blog services, email services, mailing list service provider fees)
- Website design services
- Software purchases used in designing or maintaining your website
- Clipart and template purchases used in designing your website
- Merchant and gateway fees
- Internet Service Provider (ISP) fees (if you operate your business in your home, a portion counts under your utilities)
- Computer hardware (scanners, digital cameras, computer systems)
- Online advertising fees (AdWords, banner ads, sponsorships)
When it comes to tax advice from non-accountants…as always, you’ll want to check with your tax software or your tax preparer before you submit your return
