Bartleby the Scrivener - How risky is it to tak...

How risky is it to take deductions for C2C/LLC if I had zero revenue this year? I paid the initial filing fees, plus bought a few pieces of equipment I'd certainly expense if I had any contracts, but having 0 for 2023, I don't know if this is permissible/explainable or not worth the risk; total spend is probably only $500-600 on things or whatever. Thanks!

yh that should be fine cuz i think u can lose money for first couple of years since reasonable and 500-600 doesn't sound a like a lot for deducting i would expect to be able to lose money for a year or two in between profit years as well cuz it's a business and there are ups and downs seems reasonable

Courtesy disclaimer, not a CPA, blabla My opinion: $500 is peanut skin. Consider the plethora of new businesses operating at loss and writing off expenses and debt, tens and hundreds of $1000s every year for years.
