This is a great question and one that we often get! There are several forms that you will need, such as ones that show income, business and home expenses, and car repairs and travel expenses.

The boundaries can sometimes be blurred on what qualifies as a tax-deductible expense. Having one of our tax preparers help you with your business tax filing can clear up all of your questions.
We would advise you to keep all documents that show income or deductions along with your tax records for seven years. Please contact us for more detail.

In one word: Yes. Having a certified bookkeeper is very important, especially if you are a small business owner. You will most likely end up saving money in the end if you pay a little more for a certified bookkeeper. With their training and experience, they will surely find any possible errors that might otherwise cost you in overpaid taxes and penalties.
