The $5,000 deduction is reduced by any start-up or organizational costs which exceed $50,000.

Jerry Jacks & his wonderful staff have been processing my Tax Returns for nearly 40 years. No matter in what state I've lived, he has been there with expertise, wisdom and advice. He and I are just about the same age. hmmmm. May we thrive and continue to win Tax Day for at least 20 more years!
