    If your income changed this year or you had capita If your income changed this year or you had capital gains or new deductions pop up in the fourth quarter, now is a good time to review your numbers. 

When income increases more than expected, a catch up payment can help reduce penalties.

Payments made by January 15 may help lower or even avoid underpayment penalties, so a quick check before that deadline can go a long way.

    What your accountant wishes you’d done first, and What your accountant wishes you’d done first, and not just at tax time.

Here’s how to set it up:

- Start by setting up clear income and cost of goods sold (COGS) accounts at the top of your chart of accounts. 

Include sales or revenue, returns, and other income, along with COGS accounts like purchases, direct labor, materials, and inventory if applicable.

- Use expense accounts that line up with common tax deductions to simplify filing.

- Keep owner, payroll, and tax related accounts separate so nothing gets mixed or misreported

- Skip overusing the “Miscellaneous” account. Lumping too many expenses into a catch-all category makes it harder to track deductions accurately.

- Review and adjust your chart of accounts as your business changes and grows

A tax ready chart of accounts keeps reports clear, tax prep smooth, and communication with your accountant easier.

If you’re not sure whether your chart of accounts is set up the right way, book a call and let’s make sure it’s truly tax ready.
