Try the IRS website:\nhttp://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/index.html\n\nIt is actually very helpful, considering its the IRS.  If they have improved anything there, it's the information available on their website.

You can use 1040 to file jointly. Since your wife is self-employed, she can use schedule C to report her income.\nYour wife can also deduct necessary and ordinary business expenses(office supply, advertisement, auto, home office ...). The difference of income and expenses is called net income which is subjected to both self-employed tax and income tax. I suggest you seek a qualified tax professional to handle your tax reurn due to your wife's self-employed status.\n\n-Zhicheng Lai Enrolled Agent

I couldn't find a national list.  I wanted to say, no state ALLOWS tax on anything.  They REQUIRE collecting tax on certain items/services.  "Allow" implies an option.

go to:\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov\n\nThere you will find a plethora of information regarding incorporations.\n\nBelieve it or not the IRS does not hide any information regarding possible tax breaks, and are very helpful in helping you find such breaks.  So long as you're not asking during tax season.  Then they're very busy.  You just need to ask.

There is a HUGE booklet that the IRS offers to explain what is and is not tax deductible and how to claim the deduction.\n\nExample:  Work expenses for and employee that are not reimbursed are only deductible on a Schedule A and then only the amount over a percentage of the income...very confusing stuff.\n\nAnother example is meal deductions - only if over so many miles from home and then sometimes only half of the lower priced meal since you would have to eat anyway...\n\nCheck www.IRS.gov in publications for the book.  You can download it as a PDF file or mail it.  I did both so I could search using Control F for specific things I wanted to know about...It will also tell you the record keeping requirements and which forms to use.

if you are running a business from home or deducting some home office expenses then you could deduct a portion of the security system as needed to protect the business assets and production of income.\n\nirs.gov would be a place to read up about deducting business or home office expenses.
