Instructions for Form 1040 Schedule C |
2006 Tax Year |
This is archived information that pertains only to the 2006 Tax Year. If you are looking for information for the current tax year, go to the Tax Prep Help Area.
Filers of Form 1041.
Do not complete the block labeled “ Social security number (SSN).” Instead, enter your employer identification number (EIN) on
line D.
Describe the business or professional activity that provided your principal source of income reported on
line 1. If you owned more than one business, you must complete a separate Schedule C for each business. Give the general field
or activity and
the type of product or service. If your general field or activity is wholesale or retail trade, or services connected with
production services
(mining, construction, or manufacturing), also give the type of customer or client. For example, “wholesale sale of hardware to retailers” or
“appraisal of real estate for lending institutions.”
You need an employer identification number (EIN) only if you had a qualified retirement plan or were required to file an
employment, excise, estate, trust, or alcohol, tobacco, and firearms tax return. If you need an EIN, see the
Instructions for Form SS-4. If you do not have an EIN, leave
line D blank. Do not enter your SSN.
Enter your business address. Show a street address instead of a box number. Include the suite or room number, if any. If you
conducted the business
from your home located at the address shown on
Form 1040, page 1, you do not have to complete this line.
Generally, you can use the cash method, accrual method, or any other method permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. In all
cases, the method used
must clearly reflect income. Unless you are a qualifying taxpayer or a qualifying small business taxpayer (see the Part III
instructions on page C-7),
you must use the accrual method for sales and purchases of inventory items. Special rules apply to long-term contracts. See
section 460 for details.
If you use the cash method, show all items of taxable income actually or constructively received during the year (in cash,
property, or services).
Income is constructively received when it is credited to your account or set aside for you to use. Also, show amounts actually
paid during the year
for deductible expenses. However, if the payment of an expenditure creates an asset having a useful life that extends substantially
beyond the close
of the year, it may not be deductible or may be deductible only in part for the year of the payment. See
Pub. 535.
If you use the accrual method, report income when you earn it and deduct expenses when you incur them even if you do not pay
them during the tax
year. Accrual-basis taxpayers are put on a cash basis for deducting business expenses owed to a related cash-basis taxpayer.
Other rules determine the
timing of deductions based on economic performance. See Pub. 538.
To change your accounting method, you generally must file
Form 3115. You may also have to make an adjustment to prevent amounts of income or expense from being duplicated or omitted.
This is called a
section 481(a) adjustment.
Example.
You change to the cash method of accounting and choose to account for inventoriable items in the same manner as materials
and supplies that are not
incidental. You accrued sales in
2005 for which you received payment in
2006. You must report those sales in both years as a result of changing your accounting method and must make a
section 481(a) adjustment to prevent duplication of income.
A net negative
section 481(a) adjustment is taken into account entirely in the year of the change. A net positive
section 481(a) adjustment is generally taken into account over a period of
4 years. Include any net positive
section 481(a) adjustments on
line 6. If the net
section 481(a) adjustment is negative, report it in
Part V.
For details on figuring
section 481(a) adjustments, see the
Instructions for Form 3115,
Rev. Proc. 2004-23, 2004-16 I.R.B. 785, available at
www.irs.gov/irb/2004-16_IRB/ar11.html, and
Rev. Proc. 2004-57, 2004-38 I.R.B. 498, available at
www.irs.gov/irb/2004-38_IRB/ar11.html.
If your business activity was not a rental activity and you met any of the material participation tests below or the exception
for oil and gas
applies (explained on
page C-3), check the
“Yes” box. Otherwise, check the
“No” box. If you check the
“No” box, this business is a passive activity. If you have a loss from this business, see
Limit on losses on page C-3. If you have a profit from this business activity but have current year losses from other passive
activities or you have prior year unallowed passive activity losses, see the
Instructions for Form 8582.
Material participation.
Participation, for purposes of the seven material participation tests listed
on page C-3, generally includes any work you did in connection with an activity if you owned an interest in the activity at
the time you did the
work. The capacity in which you did the work does not matter. However, work is not treated as participation if it is work
that an owner would not
customarily do in the same type of activity and one of your main reasons for doing the work was to avoid the disallowance
of losses or credits from
the activity under the passive activity rules.
Work you did as an investor in an activity is not treated as participation unless you were directly involved in the
day-to-day management or
operations of the activity. Work done as an investor includes:
-
Studying and reviewing financial statements or reports on the activity,
-
Preparing or compiling summaries or analyses of the finances or operations of the activity for your own use, and
-
Monitoring the finances or operations of the activity in a nonmanagerial capacity.
Participation by your spouse during the tax year in an activity you own can be counted as your participation in the
activity. This applies even if
your spouse did not own an interest in the activity and whether or not you and your spouse file a joint return.
For purposes of the passive activity rules, you materially participated in the operation of this trade or business
activity during
2006 if you met any of the following
seven tests.
-
You participated in the activity for more than
500 hours during the tax year.
-
Your participation in the activity for the tax year was substantially all of the participation in the activity of all individuals
(including
individuals who did not own any interest in the activity) for the tax year.
-
You participated in the activity for more than
100 hours during the tax year, and you participated at least as much as any other person for the tax year. This includes individuals
who did not
own any interest in the activity.
-
The activity is a significant participation activity for the tax year, and you participated in all significant participation
activities for
more than
500 hours during the year. An activity is a “significant participation activity” if it involves the conduct of a trade or business, you
participated in the activity for more than
100 hours during the tax year, and you did not materially participate under any of the material participation tests (other
than this test
4).
-
You materially participated in the activity for any
5 of the prior
10 tax years.
-
The activity is a personal service activity in which you materially participated for any
3 prior tax years. A personal service activity is an activity that involves performing personal services in the fields of
health, law,
engineering, architecture, accounting, actuarial science, performing arts, consulting, or any other trade or business in which
capital is not a
material income-producing factor.
-
Based on all the facts and circumstances, you participated in the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis
during the tax
year. But you do not meet this test if you participated in the activity for
100 hours or less during the tax year. Your participation in managing the activity does not count in determining if you meet
this test if any
person (except you) (a) received compensation for performing management services in connection with the activity or (b) spent
more hours during the
tax year than you spent performing management services in connection with the activity (regardless of whether the person was
compensated for the
services).
Rental of personal property.
A rental activity (such as long-term equipment leasing) is a passive activity even if you materially participated
in the activity. However, if you
met any of the
five exceptions listed under
Rental Activities in the
Instructions for Form 8582, the rental of the property is not treated as a rental activity and the material participation
rules above apply.
Exception for oil and gas.
If you are filing Schedule C to report income and deductions from an oil or gas well in which you own a working interest
directly or through an
entity that does not limit your liability, check the
“ Yes” box. The activity of owning the working interest is not a passive activity regardless of your participation.
Limit on losses.
If you checked the
“ No” box and you have a loss from this business, you may have to use
Form 8582 to figure your allowable loss, if any, to enter on
Schedule C, line 31. Generally, you can deduct losses from passive activities only to the extent of income from passive activities.
For details,
see
Pub. 925.
If you started or acquired this business in
2006, check the box on
line H. Also check the box if you are reopening or restarting this business after temporarily closing it, and you did not
file a
2005 Schedule C or C-EZ for this business.
Except as otherwise provided in the Internal Revenue Code, gross income includes income from whatever source derived. Gross
income, however, does
not include extraterritorial income that is qualifying foreign trade income. Use
Form 8873 to figure the extraterritorial income exclusion. Report it on Schedule C as explained in the Instructions for
Form 8873.
If you were a debtor in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case during 2006, see page 22 of the instructions for Form 1040 and page SE-2
of the instructions
for Schedule SE (Form 1040).
Enter gross receipts from your trade or business. Include amounts you received in your trade or business that were properly
shown on
Forms 1099-MISC. If the total amounts that were reported in
box 7 of Forms 1099-MISC are more than the total you are reporting on
line 1, attach a statement explaining the difference.
Statutory employees.
If you received a
Form W-2 and the
“ Statutory employee” box in box 13 of that form was checked, report your income and expenses related to that income on Schedule C or C-EZ.
Enter your statutory employee income from
box 1 of Form W-2 on
line 1 of Schedule C or C-EZ and check the box on that line. Social security and Medicare tax should have been withheld from
your earnings;
therefore, you do not owe self-employment tax on these earnings. Statutory employees include full-time life insurance agents,
certain agent or
commission drivers and traveling salespersons, and certain homeworkers.
If you had both self-employment income and statutory employee income, you must file two Schedules C. You cannot use
Schedule C-EZ or combine these
amounts on a single Schedule C.
Installment sales.
Generally, the installment method cannot be used to report income from the sale of (a) personal property regularly
sold under the installment
method, or (b) real property held for resale to customers. But the installment method can be used to report income from sales
of certain residential
lots and timeshares if you elect to pay interest on the tax due on that income after the year of sale. See
section 453(l)(2)(B) for details. If you make this election, include the interest on Form 1040,
line 63. Also, enter
“ 453(l)(3)” and the amount of the interest on the dotted line to the left of line 63.
If you use the installment method, attach a schedule to your return. Show separately for
2006 and the
3 preceding years: gross sales, cost of goods sold, gross profit, percentage of gross profit to gross sales, amounts collected,
and gross profit
on amounts collected.
Report on
line 6 amounts from finance reserve income, scrap sales, bad debts you recovered, interest (such as on notes and accounts
receivable), state
gasoline or fuel tax refunds you got in 2006, credit for biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels claimed on
Form 8864, credit for alcohol used as fuel claimed on
Form 6478, credit for federal tax paid on gasoline or other fuels claimed on your 2005 Form 1040, prizes and awards related
to your trade or
business, and other kinds of miscellaneous business income. Include amounts you received in your trade or business as shown
on
Form 1099-PATR. Also, include any recapture of the deduction for clean-fuel vehicles used in your business and clean-fuel
vehicle refueling
property. For details, see
Pub. 535.
If the business use percentage of any listed property (defined in the instructions for
line 13 on page C-4) decreased to
50% or less in
2006, report on this line any recapture of excess depreciation, including any section 179 expense deduction. Use
Form 4797 to figure the recapture. Also, if the business use percentage drops to
50% or less on leased listed property (other than a vehicle), include on this line any inclusion amount. See
Pub. 946 to figure the amount.
Capitalizing costs of property.
If you produced real or tangible personal property or acquired property for resale, certain expenses attributable
to the property generally must be
included in inventory costs or capitalized. In addition to direct costs, producers of inventory property generally must also
include part of certain
indirect costs in their inventory. Purchasers of personal property acquired for resale must include part of certain indirect
costs in inventory only
if the average annual gross receipts for the
3 prior tax years exceed
$10 million. Also, you must capitalize part of the indirect costs that benefit real or tangible personal property constructed
for use in a trade
or business, or noninventory property produced for sale to customers. Reduce the amounts on lines 8 through 26 and Part V
by amounts capitalized. For
details, see
Pub. 538.
Exception for certain producers.
Producers who account for inventoriable items in the same manner as materials and supplies that are not incidental
can currently deduct
expenditures for direct labor and all indirect costs that would otherwise be included in inventory costs. See
Cost of Goods Sold on page C-7 for more details.
Exception for creative property.
If you are an artist, author, or photographer, you may be exempt from the capitalization rules. However, your personal
efforts must have created
(or reasonably be expected to create) the property. This exception does not apply to any expense related to printing, photographic
plates, motion
picture films, video tapes, or similar items. These expenses are subject to the capitalization rules. For details, see
Pub. 538.
You can deduct the actual expenses of running your car or truck or take the standard mileage rate. You must use actual expenses
if you used your
vehicle for hire (such as a taxicab) or you used five or more vehicles simultaneously in your business (such as in fleet operations).
You cannot use
actual expenses for a leased vehicle if you previously used the standard mileage rate for that vehicle.
You can take the standard mileage rate for
2006 only if you:
-
Owned the vehicle and used the standard mileage rate for the
first year you placed the vehicle in service, or
-
Leased the vehicle and are using the standard mileage rate for the entire lease period (except the period, if any, before
1998).
If you deduct actual expenses:
-
Include on
line 9 the business portion of expenses for gasoline, oil, repairs, insurance, tires, license plates, etc., and
-
Show depreciation on
line 13 and rent or lease payments on
line 20a.
If you take the standard mileage rate, multiply the number of business miles driven by
44.5 cents.
Add to this amount your parking fees and tolls, and enter the total on line 9. Do not deduct depreciation, rent or lease
payments, or your actual
operating expenses.
For details, see
Pub. 463.
Information on your vehicle.
If you claim any car and truck expenses, you must provide certain information on the use of your vehicle by completing
one of the following.
-
Schedule C,
Part IV, or Schedule C-EZ,
Part III, if: (a) you are claiming the standard mileage rate, you lease your vehicle, or your vehicle is fully depreciated,
and (b) you are not
required to file
Form 4562 for any other reason. If you used more than one vehicle during the year, attach your own schedule with the information
requested in
Schedule C,
Part IV, or Schedule C-EZ,
Part III, for each additional vehicle.
-
Form 4562, Part V, if you are claiming depreciation on your vehicle or you are required to file
Form 4562 for any other reason (see the instructions for
line 13).
Enter the total cost of contract labor for the tax year. Do not include contract labor deducted elsewhere on your return such
as contract labor
that is includible on
line 17, 21, 26, or 37. Also, do not include salaries and wages paid to your employees, instead see
line 26.
Enter your deduction for depletion on this line. If you have timber depletion, attach
Form T. See
Pub. 535 for details.
Depreciation and section 179 expense deduction.
Depreciation is the annual deduction allowed to recover the cost or other basis of business or investment property
having a useful life
substantially beyond the tax year. You can also depreciate improvements made to leased business property. However, stock in
trade, inventories, and
land are not depreciable. Depreciation starts when you first use the property in your business or for the production of income.
It ends when you take
the property out of service, deduct all your depreciable cost or other basis, or no longer use the property in your business
or for the production of
income. You can also elect under section 179 to expense part or all of the cost of certain property you bought in
2006 for use in your business. See the
Instructions for
Form 4562 and Pub. 946 to figure the amount to enter on
line 13.
When to attach Form 4562.
You must complete and attach
Form 4562 only if:
-
You are claiming depreciation on property placed in service during
2006;
-
You are claiming depreciation on listed property (defined below), regardless of the date it was placed in service; or
-
You are claiming a section 179 expense deduction.
If you acquired depreciable property for the first time in
2006, see
Pub. 946.
Listed property generally includes, but is not limited to:
-
Passenger automobiles weighing
6,000 pounds or less;
-
Any other property used for transportation if the nature of the property lends itself to personal use, such as motorcycles,
pickup trucks,
etc.;
-
Any property used for entertainment or recreational purposes (such as photographic, phonographic, communication, and video
recording
equipment);
-
Cellular telephones or other similar telecommunications equipment; and
-
Computers or peripheral equipment.
Exceptions.
Listed property does not include photographic, phonographic, communication, or video equipment used exclusively in
your trade or business or at
your regular business establishment. It also does not include any computer or peripheral equipment used exclusively at a regular
business
establishment and owned or leased by the person operating the establishment. For purposes of these exceptions, a portion of
your home is treated as a
regular business establishment only if that portion meets the requirements under
section 280A(c)(1) for deducting expenses for the business use of your home.
See the instructions for
line 6 on page C-3 if the business use percentage of any listed property decreased to
50% or less in 2006.
Deduct contributions to employee benefit programs that are not an incidental part of a pension or profit-sharing plan included
on
line 19. Examples are accident and health plans, group-term life insurance, and dependent care assistance programs. If you
made contributions on
your behalf as a self-employed person to a dependent care assistance program, complete
Form 2441, Parts I and III, to figure your deductible contributions to that program.
You cannot deduct contributions you made on your behalf as a self-employed person for group-term life insurance.
Do not include on
line 14 any contributions you made on your behalf as a self-employed person to an accident and health plan. However, you may
be able to deduct on
Form 1040,
line 29, or Form 1040NR, line 28, the amount you paid for health insurance on behalf of yourself, your spouse, and dependents,
even if you do not
itemize your deductions. See the instructions for Form 1040,
line 29, or Form 1040NR, line 28, for details.
Deduct premiums paid for business insurance on
line 15. Deduct on
line 14 amounts paid for employee accident and health insurance. Do not deduct amounts credited to a reserve for self-insurance
or premiums paid
for a policy that pays for your lost earnings due to sickness or disability. For details, see
Pub. 535.
Interest allocation rules.
The tax treatment of interest expense differs depending on its type. For example, home mortgage interest and investment
interest are treated
differently. “ Interest allocation” rules require you to allocate (classify) your interest expense so it is deducted (or capitalized) on the
correct line of your return and receives the right tax treatment. These rules could affect how much interest you are allowed
to deduct on Schedule C
or C-EZ.
Generally, you allocate interest expense by tracing how the proceeds of the loan were used. See
Pub. 535 for details.
If you paid interest on a debt secured by your main home and any of the proceeds from that debt were used in connection
with your trade or
business, see
Pub. 535 to figure the amount that is deductible on Schedule C or C-EZ.
How to report.
If you have a mortgage on real property used in your business (other than your main home), enter on
line 16a the interest you paid for
2006 to banks or other financial institutions for which you received a
Form 1098 (or similar statement). If you did not receive a
Form 1098, enter the interest on
line 16b.
If you paid more mortgage interest than is shown on
Form 1098, see
Pub. 535 to find out if you can deduct the additional interest. If you can, include the amount on
line 16a. Attach a statement to your return explaining the difference and enter “ See attached” in the margin next to
line 16a.
If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if you file a joint return) were liable for and paid
interest on the mortgage and the
other person received the
Form 1098, include your share of the interest on
line 16b. Attach a statement to your return showing the name and address of the person who received the
Form 1098. In the margin next to
line 16b, enter “ See attached.”
If you paid interest in
2006 that also applies to future years, deduct only the part that applies to
2006.
Include on this line fees for tax advice related to your business and for preparation of the tax forms related to your business.
Enter your deduction for contributions to a pension, profit-sharing, or annuity plan, or plan for the benefit of your employees.
If the plan
included you as a self-employed person, enter contributions made as an employer on your behalf on Form 1040,
line 28, or Form 1040NR, line 27, not on Schedule C.
Generally, you must file the applicable form listed below if you maintain a pension, profit-sharing, or other funded-deferred
compensation plan.
The filing requirement is not affected by whether or not the plan qualified under the Internal Revenue Code, or whether or
not you claim a deduction
for the current tax year. There is a penalty for failure to timely file these forms.
Form 5500-EZ.
File this form for a one-participant plan. A one-participant plan is a plan that only covers you (or you and your
spouse).
Form 5500.
File this form for a plan that is not a one-participant plan.
For details, see
Pub. 560.
If you rented or leased vehicles, machinery, or equipment, enter on
line 20a the business portion of your rental cost. But if you leased a vehicle for a term of
30 days or more, you may have to reduce your deduction by an amount called the inclusion amount. See Leasing a Car in
Pub. 463 to figure your inclusion amount.
Enter on
line 20b amounts paid to rent or lease other property, such as office space in a building.
Deduct the cost of repairs and maintenance. Include labor, supplies, and other items that do not add to the value or increase
the life of the
property. Do not deduct the value of your own labor. Do not deduct amounts spent to restore or replace property; they must
be capitalized.
Generally, you can deduct the cost of supplies only to the extent you actually consumed and used them in your business during
the tax year (unless
you deducted them in a prior tax year). However, if you had incidental supplies on hand for which you kept no inventories
or records of use, you can
deduct the cost of supplies you actually purchased during the tax year, provided that method clearly reflects income.
You can deduct the following taxes and licenses on this line.
-
State and local sales taxes imposed on you as the seller of goods or services. If you collected this tax from the buyer, you
must also
include the amount collected in gross receipts or sales on
line 1.
-
Real estate and personal property taxes on business assets.
-
Licenses and regulatory fees for your trade or business paid each year to state or local governments. But some licenses, such
as liquor
licenses, may have to be amortized. See
Pub. 535 for details.
-
Social security and Medicare taxes paid to match required withholding from your employees' wages. Also, federal unemployment
tax paid.
Reduce your deduction by the amount shown on
Form 8846, line 4.
-
Federal highway use tax.
Do not deduct the following.
-
Federal income taxes, including your self-employment tax. However, you can deduct
one-half of your self-employment tax on Form 1040,
line 27.
-
Estate and gift taxes.
-
Taxes assessed to pay for improvements, such as paving and sewers.
-
Taxes on your home or personal use property.
-
State and local sales taxes on property purchased for use in your business. Instead, treat these taxes as part of the cost
of the
property.
-
State and local sales taxes imposed on the buyer that you were required to collect and pay over to state or local governments.
These taxes
are not included in gross receipts or sales nor are they a deductible expense. However, if the state or local government allowed
you to retain any
part of the sales tax you collected, you must include that amount as income on
line 6.
-
Other taxes and license fees not related to your business.
Enter your expenses for lodging and transportation connected with overnight travel for business while away from your tax home.
Generally, your tax
home is your main place of business regardless of where you maintain your family home. You cannot deduct expenses paid or
incurred in connection with
employment away from home if that period of employment exceeds
1 year. Also, you cannot deduct travel expenses for your spouse, your dependent, or any other individual unless that person
is your employee,
the travel is for a bona fide business purpose, and the expenses would otherwise be deductible by that person.
Do not include expenses for meals and entertainment on this line. Instead, see the instructions for
line 24b on page C-6.
Instead of keeping records of your actual incidental expenses, you can use an optional method for deducting incidental expenses
only if you did not
pay or incur meal expenses on a day you were traveling away from your tax home. The amount of the deduction is
$3 a day. Incidental expenses include fees and tips given to porters, baggage carriers, bellhops, hotel maids, stewards or
stewardesses and
others on ships, and hotel servants in foreign countries. They do not include expenses for laundry, cleaning and pressing
of clothing, lodging taxes,
or the costs of telegrams or telephone calls. You cannot use this method on any day that you use the standard meal allowance
(as explained in the
instructions for
line 24b).
You cannot deduct expenses for attending a foreign convention unless it is directly related to your trade or business and
it is as reasonable for
the meeting to be held outside the North American area as within it. These rules apply to both employers and employees. Other
rules apply to luxury
water travel.
For details, see
Pub. 463.
Enter your total deductible business meal and entertainment expenses. Include meal expenses while traveling away from home
for business.
Deductible expenses.
Business meal expenses are deductible only if they are (a) directly related to or associated with the active conduct
of your trade or business, (b)
not lavish or extravagant, and (c) incurred while you or your employee is present at the meal.
You cannot deduct any expense paid or incurred for a facility (such as a yacht or hunting lodge) used for any activity
usually considered
entertainment, amusement, or recreation.
Also, you cannot deduct membership dues for any club organized for business, pleasure, recreation, or other social
purpose. This includes country
clubs, golf and athletic clubs, airline and hotel clubs, and clubs operated to provide meals under conditions favorable to
business discussion. But it
does not include civic or public service organizations, professional organizations (such as bar and medical associations),
business leagues, trade
associations, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and real estate boards, unless a principal purpose of the organization
is to entertain, or
provide entertainment facilities for, members or their guests.
There are exceptions to these rules as well as other rules that apply to sky-box rentals and tickets to entertainment
events. See
Pub. 463.
Standard meal allowance.
Instead of the actual cost of your meals while traveling away from home, you can use the standard meal allowance for
your daily meals and
incidental expenses. Under this method, you deduct a specified amount, depending on where you travel, instead of keeping records
of your actual meal
expenses. However, you must still keep records to prove the time, place, and business purpose of your travel.
The standard meal allowance is the federal M&IE rate. You can find these rates on the Internet at
www.gsa.gov. Click on “ Per Diem Rates” for links to locations inside and outside the
continental United States.
See
Pub. 463 for details on how to figure your deduction using the standard meal allowance, including special rules for partial
days of travel.
Amount of deduction.
Generally, you can deduct only 50% of your business meal and entertainment expenses, including meals incurred while
away from home on business. For
individuals subject to the Department of Transportation (DOT) hours of service limits, that percentage is increased to 75%
for business meals consumed
during, or incident to, any period of duty for which those limits are in effect. Individuals subject to the DOT hours of service
limits include the
following.
-
Certain air transportation workers (such as pilots, crew, dispatchers, mechanics, and control tower operators) who are under
Federal
Aviation Administration regulations.
-
Interstate truck operators who are under DOT regulations.
-
Certain merchant mariners who are under Coast Guard regulations.
However, you can fully deduct meals, incidentals, and entertainment furnished or reimbursed to an employee if you
properly treat the expense as
wages subject to withholding. You can also fully deduct meals, incidentals, and entertainment provided to a nonemployee to
the extent the expenses are
includible in the gross income of that person and reported on
Form 1099-MISC. See
Pub. 535 for details and other exceptions.
Daycare providers.
If you qualify as a family daycare provider, you can use the standard meal and snack rates, instead of actual costs,
to compute the deductible cost
of meals and snacks provided to eligible children. See
Pub. 587 for details, including recordkeeping requirements.
Deduct utility expenses only for your trade or business.
Local telephone service.
If you used your home phone for business, do not deduct the base rate (including taxes) of the first phone line into
your residence. But you can
deduct expenses for any additional costs you incurred for business that are more than the cost of the base rate for the first
phone line. For example,
if you had a second line, you can deduct the business percentage of the charges for that line, including the base rate charges.
Enter the total salaries and wages for the tax year. Do not include salaries and wages deducted elsewhere on your return or
amounts paid to
yourself. Reduce your deduction by the amounts claimed on:
-
Form 5884, Work Opportunity Credit, line 2;
-
Form 5884-A, Credits for Employers Affected by Hurricane Katrina, Rita, or Wilma, line 6;
-
Form 8844, Empowerment Zone and Renewal Community Employment Credit, line 2; and
-
Form 8861, Welfare-to-Work Credit, line 2.
If you provided taxable fringe benefits to your employees, such as personal use of a car, do not deduct as wages the amount
applicable to
depreciation and other expenses claimed elsewhere.
Business use of your home.
You may be able to deduct certain expenses for business use of your home, subject to limitations. You must attach
Form 8829 if you claim this deduction. For details, see the Instructions for
Form 8829 and
Pub. 587.
If you have a loss, the amount of loss you can deduct this year may be limited. Go to
line 32 before entering your loss on line 31. If you answered “No” on Schedule C, line G, also see the
Instructions for Form 8582. Enter the net profit or deductible loss here. Combine this amount with any profit or loss from
other businesses, and
enter the total on both
Form 1040, line 12, and
Schedule SE, line 2, or on Form 1040NR, line 13. Estates and trusts should enter the total on
Form 1041, line 3.
If you have a net profit on
line 31, this amount is earned income and may qualify you for the earned income credit. See the
instructions for Form 1040, lines 66a and 66b, for details.
Statutory employees.
Include your net profit or deductible loss from
line 31 with other Schedule C amounts on
Form 1040, line 12, or on Form 1040NR, line 13. However, do not report this amount on
Schedule SE, line 2. If you are required to file Schedule SE because of other self-employment income, see the
instructions for Schedule SE.
At-risk rules.
Generally, if you have a business loss and amounts invested in the business for which you are not at risk, you must
complete
Form 6198 to figure your allowable loss. The at-risk rules generally limit the amount of loss (including loss on the disposition
of assets) you
can claim to the amount you could actually lose in the business.
Check
box 32b if you have amounts invested in this business for which you are not at risk, such as the following.
-
Nonrecourse loans used to finance the business, to acquire property used in the business, or to acquire the business that
are not secured by
your own property (other than property used in the business). However, there is an exception for certain nonrecourse financing
borrowed by you in
connection with holding real property.
-
Cash, property, or borrowed amounts used in the business (or contributed to the business, or used to acquire the business)
that are
protected against loss by a guarantee, stop-loss agreement, or other similar arrangement (excluding casualty insurance and
insurance against tort
liability).
-
Amounts borrowed for use in the business from a person who has an interest in the business, other than as a creditor, or who
is related
under
section 465(b)(3) to a person (other than you) having such an interest.
Figuring your deductible loss.
If all amounts are at risk in this business, check
box 32a. If you answered “ Yes” on line G,
enter your loss on
line 31. But if you answered “ No” on line G, you may need to complete
Form 8582 to figure your allowable loss to enter on
line 31. See the Instructions for
Form 8582 for details.
If you checked
box 32b, see
Form 6198 to determine the amount of your deductible loss. If you answered “ Yes” on
line G, enter that amount on
line 31. But if you answered “ No” on line G, your loss may be further limited. See the
Instructions for Form 8582. If your at-risk amount is zero or less, enter -0- on
line 31. Be sure to attach
Form 6198 to your return. If you checked box 32b and you do not attach Form 6198, the processing of your tax return may be
delayed.
Any loss from this business not allowed for
2006 because of the at-risk rules is treated as a deduction allocable to the business in
2007.
For details, see the
Instructions for Form 6198 and
Pub. 925.
Part III. Cost of Goods Sold
Generally, if you engaged in a trade or business in which the production, purchase, or sale of merchandise was an income-producing
factor, you must
take inventories into account at the beginning and end of your tax year.
However, if you are a qualifying taxpayer or a qualifying small business taxpayer, you can account for inventoriable items
in the same manner as
materials and supplies that are not incidental. To change your accounting method, see the instructions for
line F on page C-2.
A qualifying taxpayer is a taxpayer (a) whose average annual gross receipts for the
3 prior tax years are
$1 million or less, and (b) whose business is not a tax shelter (as defined in
section 448(d)(3)).
A qualifying small business taxpayer is a taxpayer (a) whose average annual gross receipts for the
3 prior tax years are more than
$1 million but not more than
$10 million, (b) whose business is not a tax shelter (as defined in
section 448(d)(3)), and (c) whose principal business activity is not an ineligible activity as explained in
Rev. Proc. 2002-28. You can find
Rev. Proc. 2002-28 on page 815 of Internal Revenue Bulletin 2002-18 at
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb02-18.pdf
Under this accounting method, inventory costs for raw materials purchased for use in producing finished goods and merchandise
purchased for resale
are deductible in the year the finished goods or merchandise are sold (but not before the year you paid for the raw materials
or merchandise, if you
are also using the cash method). Enter amounts paid for all raw materials and merchandise during
2006 on
line 36. The amount you can deduct for
2006 is figured on
line 42.
Additional information.
For additional guidance on this method of accounting for inventoriable items, see the following.
Certain direct and indirect expenses may have to be capitalized or included in inventory. See the
instructions for Part II
beginning on page C-4.
Your inventories can be valued at cost; cost or market value, whichever is lower; or any other method approved by the IRS.
However, you are
required to use cost if you are using the cash method of accounting.
If you are changing your method of accounting beginning with
2006, refigure last year's closing inventory using your new method of accounting and enter the result on
line 35. If there is a difference between last year's closing inventory and the refigured amount, attach an explanation and
take it into account
when figuring your
section 481(a) adjustment. See the example on
page C-2 for details.
If you account for inventoriable items in the same manner as materials and supplies that are not incidental, enter on
line 41 the portion of your raw materials and merchandise purchased for resale that are included on
line 40 and were not sold during the year.
Part IV. Information on Your Vehicle
Generally, commuting is travel between your home and a work location. If you converted your vehicle during the year from personal
to business use
(or vice versa), enter your commuting miles only for the period you drove your vehicle for business. For information on certain
travel that is
considered a business expense rather than commuting, see the
Instructions for Form 2106.
Include all ordinary and necessary business expenses not deducted elsewhere on Schedule C. List the type and amount of each
expense separately in
the space provided. Enter the total on
lines 48 and 27. Do not include the cost of business equipment or furniture, replacements or permanent improvements to property,
or personal,
living, and family expenses. Do not include charitable contributions. Also, you cannot deduct fines or penalties paid to a
government for violating
any law. For details on business expenses, see
Pub. 535.
Amortization.
Include amortization in this part. For amortization that begins in
2006, you must complete and attach
Form 4562.
You can amortize:
-
The cost of pollution-control facilities.
-
Amounts paid for research and experimentation.
-
Qualified revitalization expenditures.
-
Amounts paid to acquire, protect, expand, register, or defend trademarks or trade names.
-
Goodwill and certain other intangibles.
-
Certain expenses paid or incurred to create or acquire a musical composition or its copyright.
In general, you cannot amortize real property construction period interest and taxes. Special rules apply for allocating
interest to real or
personal property produced in your trade or business.
At-risk loss deduction.
Any loss from this business that was not allowed as a deduction last year because of the at-risk rules is treated
as a deduction allocable to this
business in
2006. For the loss to be deductible, the amount that is “ at risk” must be increased.
Bad debts.
Include debts and partial debts from sales or services that were included in income and are definitely known to be
worthless. If you later collect
a debt that you deducted as a bad debt, include it as income in the year collected. For details, see Pub. 535.
Business start-up costs.
If your business began in
2006, you can elect to deduct up to
$5,000 of certain business start-up costs. This limit is reduced (but not below zero) by the amount by which your total start-up
costs exceed
$50,000. Your remaining start-up costs can be amortized over a
180-month period, beginning with the month the business began.
For details, see
Pub. 535. For amortization that begins in
2006, you must complete and attach
Form 4562.
Deduction for removing barriers to individuals with disabilities and the elderly.
You may be able to deduct up to $15,000 of costs paid or incurred in
2006 to remove architectural or transportation barriers to individuals with disabilities and the elderly. However, you cannot
take both the
credit (discussed on page C-1) and the deduction on the same expenditures.
Film and television production expenses.
You can elect to deduct costs of certain qualified film and television productions. For details, see
Pub. 535.
Forestation and reforestation costs.
Reforestation costs are generally capital expenditures. However, for each qualified timber property you can elect
to expense up
to
$10,000 ($5,000 if married filing separately) of qualifying reforestation costs paid or incurred in
2006. This limit is increased for small timber producers with qualified timber property located in the GO Zone, the Rita GO
Zone, or the Wilma GO
Zone. For GO Zone information, see
Pub. 4492.
You can elect to amortize the remaining costs over
84 months. For amortization that begins in
2006, you must complete and attach
Form 4562.
The amortization election does not apply to trusts and the expense election does not apply to estates and trusts.
For details on reforestation
expenses, see
Pub. 535.
GO Zone clean-up costs.
You can deduct
50% of qualified GO Zone clean-up costs paid or incurred in
2006 for the removal of debris from, or the demolition of structures on, real property located in the GO Zone. The property
must be held for use
in a trade or business, for the production of income, or as inventory. The remaining
50% of these costs must be capitalized. See Pub. 4492 for the areas included in the GO Zone.
