If you're using software, there is often a 'canned' chart of accounts included.\n\nIf you do a search for 'sample chart of accounts', you'll find many examples - you should look for one that best fits your type of company\n\nWhat many people do, if your biz is not complicated, is just use say 1xxxx for assets, 2xxxx for liabilities, 3xxxx for equity, 4xxxx for revenues, 5xxxx for cost of goods sold, 6xxxx for expenses, 7xxxx for taxes, 8xxxx for other income/expense.\n\nIf you more or less follow the order in which things will appear on the financial statements, you can't go too far wrong

The office(garage), if you use a computer for the bills of the company-the cost of the computer plus any programs that you buy for the business use. Clothes, that you buy to wear while you travel (obviously you can't write off any designer clothes :) )\nGas, meals, lodging, any navigation system that you use when you travel with the trucks... the list can go on and on.  I am myself an accountant and I am familiar with this but you really have to contact a local accountant.  Have him/her help you with the set-up of your business and to explain to you in more detail what is a write-off.  Another suggestion-have you thought about incorporating?  An S-copr can give you a OT of benefits, of which the biggest one is separate legal entity (if your business goes down or someone is suing you they can not go after your personal assets, such as your house, personal car, etc.)  Talk to your accountant for that.

What type of business?

When it comes to tax deductions and expense write offs, the best thing you can do for yourself is to consult with a certified and experienced tax professional.\n\nThe legal form of your business is a major factor in how you pay texes, sloe proprietor, limited partnership, corporation?  If you are not sure ask an attorney.\n\nThere is nearly no limit as to what you can purchase and use for a business.  What you can write off however is a different story.  When you make purchases with the sole intention of business use, you should consider the depreciation of the asset,(thing you own are considered assets).  To estimate the depreciation value of an asset, try deviding the cost of the item by the number of years you expect to retain the asset in service, the resullting number is the amount of money you can deduct from your taxes each year untill the asset no longer serves your needs.  Another option is to write off the entire depreciation in the first year of ownership.  Though this may decrease your tax liability dramitically for that year, there will be no other tax benefits to the ownership of that asset.\n\nYou can also deduct the cost of operation such as rents, mortgages, utilities, insurance, interest paid on loans (real estate), vehicles and the cost of operation of the vehicle, advertising, accounting, legal fees.  Pretty much any expense that you incur for the business, and certain things that you share, such as a residence, or a car can be used as deductions at tax time.  Be careful not to double deduct items.  If you cliam your car as a business expense, don't claim the interest you pay on the loan in your personal taxes.\nThere are also limits to which you can make deductions; remember you don't want to run in the red with your taxes for more than a couple of years, as the IRS will closely scrutinize your tax returns and records.\nHope this helps.\nGood luck

The answer really depends on the context of your question.  For example, in income tax accounting, expenditures may be currently deductible or capitalized and depreciated.\n\nIn a typical business, expenditures are generally either period expenses meaning the good/service has been consumed in the production of income or a capital expenditure such as a building purchase.  Capital expenditures are not expensed immediately in for profit enterprises but are placed onto the balance sheet and depreciated over a period of the assets life.\n\nGood luck and God bless
