The IRS (Internal revenue Service) is a subject most don?t want to think about, but on our Webinar this past January, one of our active Members, Mark Hultgren, spilled the beans about his recent Audit and offered some very important information to everyone involved in the Home Based Business Activity and Internet marketing.

It has amazed me, for the past 5 years meeting so many here on the Internet, how few people realize the importance of operating with a Business Mindset, regardless the size and scope of your Home Based and/or Internet Commerce.

One of the most attractive advantages of a "home based Business" is the liberal Tax advantages offered by the US Congress and the Canadian Government to encourage the growth of such income producing activity.

But it is critical the entrepreneur treat their endeavor as a BUSINESS to qualify for these generous deductions

So many "new" and experienced  entrepreneurs seem to let the mundane task of being in Business slip by. With the explosive growth on On-line Cash Flow through affiliate marketing, eBay and other E Commerce sites, the IRS has beefed up the Audit Process for On-line Entrepreneurs.

Listen to an excerpt of  Saturday?s Webinar and find out HOW TO assure yourself protection in an Audit.

Since I am not a USA resident I have nothing to do with IRS. But as in most countries: never fool around with taxes. Some tine they will find out and than you pay a lot more than if you had paid your taxes as you should. I have somebody to do my taxes and he knows legal things to reduce taxes. it is money well spent.

Thank you Cheryl. I have been using another more informative source. The Author of our FREE book mentioned is a little less Hyped than Mueller and possesses similar credentials.
His book can be found at the Top Link

Chuck a good resource for all home based business owners in the US is Dr Ron Mueller. you should be able to find his info through a search. He has taken the time to point out all the deductions available for HBB owners and how they can take them.

I appreciate the comments. But I would expect [professional Marketers to take the time and add relevant data, instead of a short "canned" message. Is it just being used to generate credits?

I see this mistake being made in Blog Comments on the Web all of the time.
