How do you determine what is deductible for start up taxes?
I am starting an online retail business and have bought market research tools and website building software. Also I just got a dba. My site is not yet published on the net.

Couple of questions…

what can i deduct as start up deductions?

Did getting a dba officially start my business?

What sort of time restrictions go along with start up tax? ( i
bought the software listed above in 07 and got the dba in 08)

what sort of reciepts should I be saving?

I know …I need an accountant!!! lol. PLEASE HELP!!! Quality info is needed! thanks!!!
