That's not how a pre-paid expense works.

It's not a damn prepaid expense -- it is a sinking fund (paid in capital).


Pre-paid maintenance (into a reserve account) is "paid in capital"?

It does not become an expense (prepaid or otherwise) until money actually
flow out to some third party.


That's what I said.

My suggestion -- go buy a book on accounting! Most of the posts in this
thread are seriously out of touch with accounting principles and/or
understanding of financial accounts!


Such as your claim of a sinking fund?


If there is no business that can (even in theory) earn a profit, then
there
is no depreciation expense and no insulation from liability through the
corporation.


WTF?


Second suggestion (to the OP) -- hire an accountant and/or a tax advisor
before you dig yourself into a hole that the IRS will trip over.



Third sugesstion to Jay: Blow it out your ass, you pompous prick.
