Can I deduct the expenses as long as I have all the receipt or can I only show deductions less than or equal to my income? My expenses have exceeded income for >6yrs.

    You can continue to deduct your expenses even if your business then shows a loss.  However, you do need to be aware that continuing to show a loss year after year can become a red flag to the IRS.  There are a number of things to consider though. 

    For a more comprehensive discussion on this topic, see the information below.  It was posted a number of years ago, but the information is still very valid.
