Key Highlights



  • Current Startup Tax Deduction: Currently, startups can deduct up to $5,000 in startup costs, with expenses beyond that needing to be amortized over time.

  • Qualifying Expenses: Deductible startup costs include market research, advertising, employee training, salaries and professional services incurred before your startup business officially opens.

  • Kamala Harris's Proposal: Harris proposes increasing the startup tax deduction from $5,000 to $50,000, allowing small businesses to have more flexibility in when they can claim the deduction, especially after generating profits.
