Business Tax Tracker Tips
Below is a list of pointers and helpful tips to complete the Business Tracker. We encourage you to read over these tips.
If you have any additional questions, please call our ofce. We look forward to processing your returns for you this year.
r The Tax Tracker is designed to help clients track business expenses only.
r The tracker is to be kept by the client. At the end of the year the totals will be placed in the Tax Organizer.
The Tax Organizers are located on our website at www.taxsentry.com. After you login the organizers are located
on your right hand side.
r The organizers are the only things you will need to send in to Tax Sentry at the end of the year.
Not this Tax Tracker. The Tax Tracker is a tool designed to help clients add expenditures and income for
easy tracking.
r If you desire to add extra expenses that aren’t categorized, please do so on page 6.
r Funds can be tracked even if you spent personal money on a business expense.
The IRS does not care about the funding source as much as it cares about the intent.
r If an expense is a one-time expense, please only place it under the month the expenses took place.
r Under the income section, please only list the gross amount of sales not the net.
r Please make sure to download the business organizer from our website.
The tracker and organizer work together to maximize deductions.
