I've got a system that works for me but it's still time consuming to sort it out: I have one folder marked "Invoices" with invoices and their appropriate checks stapled to them; "Business Expenses" which includes everything related to the business I run here; "Medical Expenses" which in itself, is bulging due to the past several years. But I still have to go through the charitable donations every year because I need to create a new folder for those, but never do. I'm procrastinating right now, because I fear that this year, I'll owe, which doesn't feel good. Good luck with your "taxing" duties!

I tote everything up at the end of each month, makes it much easier at the end of the year.<br /><br />I'm not through yet as I'm waiting on some 1099s, but like you, I've done enough on Schedule C to know that I spend far more on promo than I make selling books.<br /><br />Writing is an addiction.<br /><br />Marilyn<br />http://fictionforyou.comMarilyn Meredith a.k.a.

Get 12 folders one for each month and when you buy or have any receipt for something that can be tax deductable..put that slip in that folder for that month. When I was in bussiness for myself I did this and then I only had to go thru 12 folders end of the year and know where it all was. I used to go as far as to complete the deductions on a work sheet and put it in the folder when it was done for the month..that way end of the year you had 12 work sheets telling you what is what. It truly saved alot of work in the end and things were all in one plastic box in one place. Hope I have helped. susan L.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719916545911843485noreply@blogger.com
