Could you give us some examples of what a startup cost would be compared to what is an operating cost? What are those common mistakes or pitfalls that we need to be avoiding? What do you recommend for someone who hasn't done their mileage yet and needs to before tax time? Do you recommend people try to do their taxes themselves?
