How to advance money to a start up for tax purposes?

Money
kruzo asked:


I am about to advance some money to a startup company (a Massachusetts LLC) to cover their startup costs. What do I need to do to make this money deductable on my personal income tax, particularly if that company ends up failing? How do I formally “give” this money to them and how do I write them off on my own 1040?

    Start up costs are not deductible. They must be amortized.

    The loss of your collection efforts you have exhausted all of your collection efforts you can write off.
    An asset that you have exhausted all of principal in publicly traded company debt or bonds in the business venture fails and you have exhausted all of principal in the investment as capital loss of principal in company if the investment as promissory note.
