Business in 2013

[bekzm]

Business purchased supplies, rented a building, office equipment and got the the federal id number BUT open in 2013. Amortize the expense for 2012 or set it up in 2013. Tired and can't think. Thanks

Start up costs

The start up costs start to be amortized when the business opens. So in 2013 you will expense up to the first $5,000 of start up costs and amortize the rest over 15 years.
