Good afternoon! It’s that time of year to get your tax papers organized and ready for tax time. Yes, I know, it’s a hassle if you’re not organized. Even organized people struggle with this time of year. Do I have this form? Did I make that donation before the end of the year? When did I buy my laptop for writing?
As an accountant, I understand the struggle. But, just take it one day at a time. Sit down with your check register and scan it. Make sure you grab all of your expenses for your writing business or the business that you’re in. Also this is a good way to find donations you made during the year.
Here’s a list for writers to use for expenses and other business can use it too…
- Writing programs – Microsoft office, Scrivener, Adobe, etc…
- Writer Group Subscriptions – Romance Writers of America, All Author, Bigstock, Etc…
- Writing Supplies – Pencils, Pens, Notebooks, Copy paper, ink, journals, etc…
- Equipment – Laptop, Computer, printer, etc…
- Advertising – Any advertising you’ve paid for…
The list goes on from here, but this gives you a good idea of where to start. And believe me, once you get into this, you’ll find more.
As always, good writing and May God Bless You…
