Liabilities

  • credit card amount owed

This should be good to get your business return started.  For your personal return, please complete the attached client interview sheet and send that back to me with any W2s, 1099s, or other tax-related documents you have received.  We’ll start from there.

We will be able to get all of this taken care of for you, so don’t worry about a thing!

If you’re not sure about whether to include an expense or not, include it. I’ll let you know if you can’t deduct it.
