<p>Personally I like the schools that use CSS/Profile, because they tend to be more flexible and look at the total picture. Not sure if you mean the business has “losses” or whether these are costs of business (materials, labor, taxes, etc.) As pointed out, depreciation and deductions for items that may be used personally (car) probably will get added back in. I would definitely fill out the Additional Information section of the CSS/Profile to explain your personal situation.</p>
