Q. I own a small handyman business and am remodeling a portion of my own home. Can I expense the materials to my business?

13 July 2020

A: You can deduct an allocable percentage of repairs and maintenance to an area of your home that is used exclusively for the business. Improvements are not deductible. A remodel would not be deductible.

Q. If the borrower writes a loan contract is it in effect for every loan thereafter until a new contract is made

7 July 2020

A: That depends on how the agreement was drafted and the understanding of the Parties involved. The agreement could be written as an open line of credit or a one time loan. Without specific language it will not be clear whether the Parties intended for the future loans to be subject to the current agreement or not.

Q. How do I file a claim against a recently dissolved company for commission owed to me?

17 June 2020

A: You would file against the entity and the owners together. It'll be more complicated because you have to argue the owner's were responsible, or that the liability protection of the corporate entity should be ignored, or one of the other reasons why you would be able to collect from the owner's personally. It's a pretty complicated thing to do so I would suggest you find an attorney to represent you.
