Venture capital and private equity professionals tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Venture capital and private equity professionals Write Off?

Short answer: Fund managers' carried interest gets long-term capital gain rates only on assets held over three years; deductible costs are mostly borne by the fund or management company.

Investment costs aren't deductible as business expenses for investors (miscellaneous itemized deductions are gone); gains and losses go on Schedule D instead.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
