Common Tax & Accounting Questions from Small Business Owners
Technical guidance for informed financial decisions.
1. Should I classify a worker as an employee or an independent contractor?
The IRS applies a multi-factor test based on control and independence. Misclassification can lead to back taxes, penalties, and legal liability, so it’s important to evaluate the relationship carefully before hiring.
2. Can I deduct my home office, vehicle, or business travel expenses?
Yes — as long as they are ordinary, necessary, and properly documented. Home office expenses must involve exclusive use, while vehicle and travel expenses require logs or receipts to substantiate business use.
3. What is the most tax-efficient way to pay myself from my business?
This depends on your entity type. Sole proprietors typically take draws, S corporation owners must pay themselves a reasonable salary, and partnerships use guaranteed payments or distributions. Each method has unique tax implications.
4. How do owner contributions and distributions affect my taxes?
Owner contributions increase your basis (equity), while distributions reduce it. Accurate tracking helps prevent errors on your tax return and ensures you don’t accidentally trigger capital gains or basis-related penalties.
5. Should I use cash or accrual accounting for my business?
Cash basis is simpler and ideal for many small businesses, recognizing income when received and expenses when paid. Accrual basis gives a clearer financial picture by matching income and expenses to the period they occur, and may be required as you grow.
