This issue of HomeBizBytes answers the question...

    When is your home-based business not allowed to take any 
    business tax deductions?

Hint: This is a trick question, but you'll need to know the answer.

_____ DAVE'S AND HEIDI'S RAMBLINGS _________


A warm welcome from Heidi and Dave to our new subscribers.  
Thank you in advance for sharing this issue with friends, 
family and colleagues!

Friends and Readers of HomeBizBytes,

--> Anyone seen eBay's stock lately?...

I knew it, I knew it!  We should have sold some of our other 
stocks and put them into eBay (hitting head on wall).  It has 
doubled within the last 3-1/3 months.  Check it out:
http://quotes.freerealtime.com//dl/frt/M?IM=quotes&symbol=EBAY&type=Quote
And, if you want a visual chart shocker, go here:
http://quotes.freerealtime.com/dl/frt/M?SA=quotes|Chart&IM=quotes&symbol=EBAY&type=Chart&

Furthermore, since August, Amazon.com has enjoyed a nice steady 
climb.  After all, eBay and Amazon are two that are actually 
reporting net profits.

Frankly, Dave and I love to see the triumphs rise out of the 
dot.bom failures.  We told you over a year ago that they would, 
and they are.  Slowly, but surely, we're seeing a stronger, 
more stable internet.  There will still be bumps and scrapes.  
It's all part of the evolution of a viable internet model.


--> Warrior Pro and Warrior Forum...

If you've been wanting to be a part of the tight-knit internet 
"Warriors" group, we have a way for you to get in for only $7 !
And, this will get you into the forum and parts of Warrior Pro 
FOR LIFE!  You can get in through a product called "Money 
Browser."  Once you pay your $7, you'll receive instructions to 
install the "Money Browser" on your browser toolbar.  After 
that, you'll also receive instructions for getting access to a 
bunch of the Warrior products, including the forum and a load 
of eBooks and courses, including Jimmy D. Brown's Free 
Advertising System.  That, in and of itself, is worth far more 
than the $7.  You can keep the "Money Browser" installed or 
simply delete it, but you keep all the Warrior bonuses.

Here's the $7 link: (You won't find this anywhere else!)
http://www.homebusinessonline.com/recommended/moneybrowser/

Dave and I wanted to mention this to you since you really can't 
lose for only $7.  And, we want you all to become a part of the 
exclusive Warriors that can offer so much help to you in 
building your business online.


--> This issue...

Dave and I realized we hadn't provided a "Painless Guide" for 
our subscribers for some months.  So, we put one up today to 
finish up our January tax series articles and reports.  You'll 
find the link below entitled "The Home-based Entrepreneur's 
Painless Guide to Making Your Hobby a Bona Fide Business For 
Tax Purposes."

You won't want to miss next week's issue as we reveal why we 
have decided to do away with paid advertising in HomeBizBytes.  
We promise it will be revealing, and it will be truthful.


Enjoy this issue.

_____ ANOTHER HELPFUL TAX RESOURCE _________

Thanks to subscriber Eric Owens for reminding us of two more 
helpful tax resources.  Both are excellent software that will 
help you keep daily records as well as give reminders of legal 
deductions you can take.  And, they're easy to use, clever, and 
very reasonably priced!

This is the same software the "The Tax Mama" Eva Rosenberg 
promotes:

The Internet Tax Helper
http://www.internettaxhelper.com/g.o/taxhelpers
Custom-made for internet entrepreneurs

The MLM Tax Helper
http://www.mlmtaxhelper.com/g.o/taxhelpers
Custom-made for network marketers

It is recommended that you have a minimum of 64 Megs of RAM, 
7.5MB of available disk space and a Pentium processor or its 
equivalent to use this software.

Let us know how this software works for you!



_____ TAX REMINDER _________________________

January 31:
Time to send out those 1099's to any Independent Contractors to 
whom you paid $600 or more during 2002.  To avoid penalties, 
get them in the mail by January 31st.


_____ PAINLESS GUIDE _______________________


     The Home-based Entrepreneur's Painless Guide to 
 Making Your Hobby a Bona Fide Business For Tax Purposes


Are You a Hobby Or Bona Fide Business?

The IRS Wants To Know!

There's an awful lot of talk about understanding tax deductions 
for the home-based entrepreneur.  But, did you know there are 
circumstances where your home-based business simply can't take 
business deductions...period?

Your business could befall this awful fate.  It all depends on 
how the IRS views your business.

Yes, the dreaded IRS.

The purpose of this report is to explain this concept and to 
help you avoid this trap.

Let's dig right in...


Note: You may read the rest of this thorough guide at the URL 
below.  We have written this guide for our subscribers.  Feel 
free to grab it for your own use or give it away to your 
customers and subscribers.  This report was just finished 
today.  Brand new, good stuff!
