Kay Said:

For a home based business what type of documents I need to keep for a tax write-off?

We Answered:

Keep all receipts for: business supplies, advertising, phone bills, any purchases made into franchise, kits or fees. Receipts from any start up transactions should be saved.

An in home office can be a tax deduction. Using a room in your home as an office can be added to your taxes. Advise your tax preparer when the time comes.

Best of luck in you new venture.

Janet Said:

What is the legal or official term to describe what someone is doing when they "ghost write" for another?

We Answered:

Actually, the form would simply be an affidavit. It is not uncommon for an attorney to prepare a document for a client, or an investigator to prepare a statement for a witness to sign.

This really does not fall under the category of ghost writing, because Person B (your example) is attesting to the accuracy of what is written.

In literary circles, a ghost writer gathers information from the source, and has a bit of freedom of expression that would not exist in the legal environment.

I don't know of a particular term to describe someone who composes such a statement, but they would already have a title, such as paralegal, officer, or attorney.

Good luck!
