Tis the end of the year for taxes…

Do you know where all of your paperwork is to get your taxes done? Yes, we just got through the holidays and tax season is upon us whether we like it or not.

Here are a few tips to help you prepare:

Pick up a basic monthly accordion file and start filing your receipts by month. I know it is the end of the year but if you take a little bit at a time you can get this organized in time.

Make sure you separate your personal and business receipts.

Medical receipts are important so get those together. You want to show how much you have paid out of pocket-depending upon the percentage this can be a deduction from your income-this is for personal. For business gather up everything-premiums, prescription receipts, co-pays, etc.…

Have last year’s tax returns handy for referencing back just in case there are any questions on how you filed previously. This is especially necessary when changing CPA’s.

Any college bills? You will need 1098-T for yourself or your children.

Mortgage interest, property taxes, closing costs-this can help bring down your income.

 

If you are not sure bring those receipts with you. Your CPA will tell you what you can deduct. You never know so do not pre-judge. Tax laws are always changing.

A Little Spin For You…

Switching it up….

 

Hi all! Well when I started this blog I really had no idea where it would take me on my journey. It has inspired me to share my story in hopes of inspiring others. It has been a sounding board in regards to my business, my personal life, and my crazy dog Jack. I did not have any expectations and I am not pressuring myself to be perfect. I do my best to keep it real because that is important to me.

So, on that note, I am going to change things up a bit. I am still going to do my best to inspire and support all of you. I am going to begin to sprinkle in some business to educate, guide, and help you with your businesses. Because when it comes down to it entrepreneurs build up entrepreneurs. This is what my tribe does on a daily basis. We keep each other going, supporting, kicking each other in the butt when needed, and giving hugs, and most of all we refer each other.

Since I have really not written too much here is a little bit about my businesses: I love to help people. I do this financially and physically. On the financial side I am a bookkeeper specializing in working with entrepreneurs because I know how difficult it is to run a business and all of the ins and outs you have to keep track of. So I take your back office off of your hands. I get you organized and your books kept up on a monthly basis. It all depends on your needs. I can customize packages to fit each entrepreneurs needs. On the physical side I work with a health and wellness company who helps people physically suffering find some relief and help them live their lives once again. This company gave me my life back so I help others do the same. That is it plain and simple. Nothing fancy but I am fortunate and grateful that I have the ability to help others.

I am excited to announce I am working on some tips and tricks I can share with you at a later date. The best way to snag these little gems will be through my email list.
