The first thing you would be wise to do is to engage a local
tax professional. An EA or CPA will be able to answer all
your questions. They will save you more money than they
cost.

You need an accountant yesterday. From the sound of it,
running everything past a lawyer wouldn't be a bad idea
either.

What kind of expenses can you get reimbursed for? I hope
that's what you mean, because that's the best place for
them, on the company books and not on Schedule A as
unreimbursed employee expenses.

In any event, you can be reimbursed for most anything the
company decides to reimburse you for. However - whether or
not the company can deduct said reimbursed expenses depends
on if they are ordinary and necessary business expenses.
The facts and circumstances play strongly on that.

Most common reimbursed employee expenses are for travel
(mileage), meals and entertainment, office or other
supplies, and maybe telephone expenses. Of course, all
those must be business related to be deductible by the
business.
