Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Makosa ya Kawaida ya Kuepuka

• ✕Deducting 100% of internet costs when personal use (streaming, social media) accounts for significant portion
• ✕Double-counting internet in both the home office deduction (regular method) and as a separate business expense
• ✕Not being able to substantiate the business-use percentage if audited — keep a usage log for the first month to establish your ratio
