Can I claim tax deductions even if my home-based business didn’t make a penny?

Question by moneyreligion: Can I claim tax deductions even if my home-based business didn’t make a penny?
Does a business, home-based or not, need to have any sort of income to get the tax deduction advantages?

Help me be less accounting challenged.
