Startup Costs: What You Can Deduct in Your First Year

Starting a new business? The IRS allows you to deduct up to $5,000 in startup expenses, such

as:

  • Business formation fees
  • Legal and accounting services
  • Marketing and research costs

Did you know? Expenses exceeding $5,000 can still be deducted, but they’ll need to be

amortized over several years. Keep accurate records of all your initial expenses to ensure you

maximize this tax deduction
