You can bring down your income tax deduction if you write off everything that you use in your "legit" business. PIncPassion gives you this business tax advice:

1. Home office space – If you have a spare room which you have converted into an office space, this is part of your home business. You can write off a portion of the monthly rent in terms of square footage as business tax deductions.

2. Home work space – The same applies if you have a space in your room where you fabricate or create your own product. You can write it off as a tax deduction.

3. Hard goods – You can deduct part of the product or hard good costs that you sell out to customers like handicrafts, printed shirts and other clothes, DVD’s, printed materials, toys, baby products, supplements, and so on.
