Fictitious Name (DBA)
A fictitious name is commonly referred to as a DBA, which stands for “Doing Business As”. A fictitious name is any business name that does not contain your own name as a part of it. In some states, that means your legal name (frequently first and last).
If you are not a corporation and you plan to conduct business under a fictitious name, you must file a DBA. If you are a corporation, ownership of your name is ensured when you incorporate. Also, if your legal name is considered very common, you may be required to file a DBA.
Filing your DBA is one of the first tasks to be undertaken because every other piece of paperwork requires the business name. Your bank will also require a copy of your DBA before they will open a business account under that name. This is the only authorization they have for depositing or cashing checks made out to that business name or written against its account.
Your business name should be free of conflict with names already registered in your area. Find out if a corporation has staked a claim to your name by calling your state’s office of name availability. You may also wish to check the DBA books at the county clerk’s office. Finding out at a later date that your name is already legally registered to another business will result in your having to redo all of your paperwork.

Home-Based Business
If you have elected to have a home-based business, restrictions may not permit you to get a business license to operate in your city. You may be forced to move your business outside the home or operate outside of the law. If your family happens to be moving and you are a seasoned entrepreneur, you may wish to select your home partly on the basis of whether or not that city’s ordinances will allow you to operate your business – or any business – out of your home.
If you are thinking of living in a planned community, don’t forget to check into any restrictions that the association may have that relate to business use of your home. Even if the city will allow you to operate your business, the association may preclude that option.
The passage of the Model Zoning Ordinance did much to help protect the legalities of working from home. However, different types of businesses may be subject to special restrictions by the city or county. For instance, a mail-order business may be allowed in your home, but a direct-sales operation may be prohibited. Repair services may be allowed, but only if they do not involve the use of toxic chemicals. Food services will probable be disallowed, but the city may allow you to use your home as an administrative office for your business.
In most cities and planned communities, home-based businesses are not permitted to change the appearance of the neighborhood and, therefore, you may be prohibited the use advertising or equipment that can be viewed from the street. Very often, police or fire inspections will be conducted to see that your business does not violate any of several restrictions. Doing some diligent ground work ahead of time may eliminate the possibility of selecting a business location only to find later that it was not an appropriate and/or legal choice.

IRS Warning!
Home-Based Business Tax Avoidance Schemes
The Internal Revenue Service has issued consumer alerts regarding home-based business schemes that purport to offer tax “relief.” In reality they provide bad advice to unwary taxpayers that, if followed, results in improper tax avoidance.
Promoters of these schemes claim that individual taxpayers can deduct most, or all, of their personal expenses as business expenses by setting up a bogus home-based business. But the tax code firmly establishes that a clear business purpose and profit motive must exist in order to generate and claim allowable business expenses.
Some examples of personal expenses that are not deductible, but are commonly claimed business expenses in home-based business tax avoidance schemes include
- Deducting all or most of the cost and operation of a personal residence. For example, placing a calendar, desk, file cabinet, telephone, or other businessrelated item in each room does not increase the amount that can be deducted.
- Deducting a portion of the total house payment is not allowable if the business is not real.
- Paying children a salary for services, such as answering telephones, washing cars or other tasks and then deducting these costs as a business expense is not real.
- Deducting education expenses from the salary wrongfully paid to children as employees is not allowed
- Deducting excessive car and truck expenses when the vehicle has been used for both business and personal use is not allowed.
- Deducting personal furniture, home entertainment equipment, children’s toys, etc. is not allowed.
- Deducting personal travel, meals, and entertainment under the guise that “everyone is a potential client” is not allowed.
Any tax scheme that claims a person can deduct what would normally be personal expenses should be considered highly suspect. Taxpayers who have questions on this subject or wish to report possible schemes can call 1-866-775-7474. They can also contact the IRS by sending an email to irs.tax.shelter.hotline@irs.gov.

Do You Qualify for a Home-Office Deduction?
To qualify for a home office deduction for the business use of your home, you must use that portion of your home exclusively and regularly for your trade or business and it must be your principal place of business.
- Exclusive Use: To qualify under the exclusive use test, you must use a specific area of your home only for your trade or business. The area used for business can be a room or other separately identifiable space. The space does not need to be marked off by a permanent partition. You do not meet the requirements of the exclusive use test if you use the area in question both for business and for personal purposes. Exceptions apply if you use part of your home for the storage of inventory or product samples, or you use part of your home as a dare-care facility.
- Regular Use: To qualify under the regular use test, you must use a specific area of your home for business on a continuing basis. You do not meet the test if your business use of the area is only occasional or incidental, even if you do not use that area for any other purpose.
- Trade or Business Use: To qualify under the trade or business use test, you must use part of your home in connection with a trade or business. If you use your home for a profitseeking activity that is not a trade or business, you cannot take a deduction for its business use.
- Principal Place of Business: You can have more than one business location, including your home, for a single trade or business. To qualify to deduct the expenses for the business use of your home, your home must be your principal place of business for that trade or business.
- Place to Meet Patients, Clients, or Customers: If you meet or deal with patients, clients, or customers in your home in the normal course of your business, even though you also carry on business at another location, you can deduct your expenses for the part of your home used exclusively and regularly for business if you meet the following tests.
- Separate Structure: You can deduct expenses (subject to the deduction limit) for a separate free-standing structure, such as a studio, garage, or barn, if you use it exclusively and regularly for your business. The structure does not have to be your principal place of business or a place where you meet patients, clients, or customers.
