I would like information on small deductions that might be missed. How to use mileage deduction -- what's the criteria for it to be business vs pleasure/everyday life. Hiring family members for business expense -- typical jobs one might hire them for.

Tips for tracking business expenses throughout the year vs trying to make sure you didn't forget something at tax time. I used Quick Books - small business in the past but I must not have set the categories up well to be helpful. Are there other softwares to consider?
