For most direct sales businesses, they are small enough where using the Income & Expense Tracker works and most direct sellers are doing the bookkeeping themselves. Sometimes accountants do both tax filing and bookkeeping, though.

A bookkeeper would be the one that takes all your receipts and statements and organizes them in the Income & Expense tracker (or software like Quickbooks). An accountant generally just files your taxes so they would take your Income & Expense tracker and use that to file the taxes. I’d ask your accountant how they want to handle that.ĥ. I believe you are supposed to estimate how much is used as personal and how much is used for business and only record the business percent of the expense for your business. These shared personal/business expenses would typically have only a percentage entered as a business expense. Similar to 2 you don’t have to enter every individual transaction and you can lump them together to categorize them if that’s easier.Ĥ. The purchase of books would be an expense to your business so those expenses should be included in the totals you report for taxes and categorized appropriately. I typically recommend people enter their income & expenses at least monthly since its easier to stay on top of it than trying to fill it in only at the end of the year.ģ. You don’t necessarily need to enter every transaction in the Income & Expense tracker but you should retain receipts/invoices for all your expenses and then you could just enter one or a few lumped transactions for each category if that’s easier. Your expenses are supposed to be categorized in the various buckets like the Income & Expense Tracker has.

If you can download a report that has the income for the whole year in it you could just use that and enter the total in the Income & Expense Tracker. You don’t need to record every transaction. Essentially any money you received related to your business is income.Ģ.

Income would also include any money collected from in-person sales, events, etc. You should have received a 1099-NEC for any commission you received from your parent company. W2 income wouldn’t be reported for your business as that is for employee wages. You need to report your income for the whole year so if you have it for the whole year or another interval that is fine. You do not need to go back and do it weekly.

Just know, I’m not a tax professional so I always recommend reaching out to a CPA or other tax professional to get help on your specific situation.ġ. Hey Cassie – Below are my thoughts on these. Will I need to have printed receipts of everything or just give my tax accountant a print out of the excel sheet? When I enter my cell phone and internet expense, do I list a percentage or the actual amount as the expense $ and let my tax account know how much was used for business vs personal?ĥ. which category do I need to log the purchase of the books?Ĥ. When I purchased my own books I use for showing in my parties, or having on hand for customers who wanted to stop by and browse in person, or give away as prizes to winners of drawings in VIP etc. Or what would be the best/easiest way to enter this information.ģ. $100.00 includes shipping charges, tax, books etc. Once payment was received, I then paid $100.00 with MY credit card to Usborne to close party. Since I am able to apply the promotion I offered to my host for their party or “FREE BOOKS” of say $15.00, the HOST A total due was $85.00 which they then paid me via PayPal. Because I did it this way for most of my hosts, do I have to record every time I did this by entering the payment using my credit card, then the payment to me by customer for the amount they paid? For example, I closed HOST party and total amount due to close party was $100.00. When I would close my hosts parties, I would usually have them pay me via Venmo, PayPal, Facebook messenger to avoid credit card number exchange. Do I need to go back and enter my weekly income (or every time I was paid) or can I just enter my W2 as the income for the year?Ģ.

I just have a couple questions on entering information….ġ. I was able to make it open somehow using Googlesheets. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
