I print a monthly statement each month. This helps tremendously when getting all of our small business items together for tax time. For years I would not do this, and spent a good few days printing everything. This has helped me cut my tax prep time. Would love a copy of this software, WE LOVE IT! I use it every year!!
If you have someone do your taxes use an accountant! We used a bookkeeper and have been aduited. He has to take no responsibility for his mistakes.

Don’t put everything in a box! Have a file system with folders to separate everything – you can find anything in seconds. Have an organizer in your purse to track mileage and put gas & food rcpts until you get back to the home office. Run a spreadsheet of monthly expenses (and be sure you have all bils & rcpts that will balance out). Have one folder to keep notes of “deductions you have heard about” so that you can see if you qualify at tax time – this way you won’t forget about them. Be sure to check to see if any upgrades you do on your home will qualify for government energy efficiency credits.
I let my hubby do it 🙂
