Is there anything more scary than getting ready for your taxes in your small business? Last year was my first year of being officially in business and having to get my act together to file taxes was more than SCARY for me.
I do have an accountant who helps me with my taxes and he’s great, but you can’t just show up with a shoebox full of receipts and expect a good outcome. You have to know how to track your business income properly throughout the year. You also need to know what expenses you will be able to write off, so you can keep proper track. I had SOME idea, but as I went on, I discovered that there was a LOT I didn’t know.

My Solution for my Business Taxes
That’s where Andi Smiles came in. I’m part of her free Facebook group – Boss Babes Business Finance And she does Facebook Lives about a lot of helpful topics, like hourly or package pricing, how to handle contractors, mileage, home office expenses. And let me tell you, I had a LOT of questions.
Andi and the people in the group were able to answer a lot of my questions. But when it come down to the actual moment of truth, I’ll be honest, I was panicking just a little bit. So I was delighted to discover her product – Panic Free Tax Prep.
It just takes an hour to master these concepts and she’s got several tracking sheets, workbooks, etc. I found it immensely helpful and I will be referring to it again for for my second round of taxes.
This is a terrific, helpful product and it’s not very expensive. A bit more than a pizza, but less than a tank of gas.
