If you have small business expenses but no income will you get a tax return?

You can get a tax refund (I think that's what you meant) if you paid more taxes in than you owed. So, if you had no income, you would owe no taxes and should get anything back you paid in. Of course, if you had no income, how did you pay taxes?


As a small business owner should your corporation own your house so as to legally protect it and is the corporation owning it the only way that the business can pay association dues and property tax?

Your business corporation should NOT own your house. Such ownership would give your business creditors access to your home equity. Also keep in mind that you cannot create business deductions out of personal expenses merely by having your business own your personal property. On the other hand, if you do use personal property for business purposes, youi can rent such property to your business. You would then have to include such rent as personal income, complete a Schedule E tax form on your personal return, and claim such expenses against the income as the IRS allows. IN the case of a home, for example, if you use 25% of it for a business office or a carpentry shop, you would then be entitled to deduct 25% of the properties expenses against your rental income, including depreciation. It's complicated. Hire a local CPA.
