Your 1099-K shows gross sales. What you actually made is a smaller number, and you have to be able to show it.

Shipping costs, platform fees, refunds, sales tax you collected, and what you paid for the inventory all come off that figure. The problem is the platform reports one number and your bank shows another, so the two never line up on their own. That gap is where online sellers either overpay or file something they cannot back up.

The fix is tracking what comes in and what goes out as it happens, instead of rebuilding twelve months of it in March.

If you sell on eBay or Shopify and your records live in screenshots and payout emails, that is the cleanup we do. Send us a message and we will tell you what it takes to get your numbers straight.

You had a good year. The moves that lower what you owe mostly have to happen before December, not when you sit down to file.

Once the year closes, your options shrink to almost nothing. Before then you still have room. Retirement contributions, the timing of a big purchase, catching deductions you already earned, and getting your estimated payments right all move the number. Whether an S Corp makes sense is worth a look too, if you have not run it before. Swipe through for what I go over with clients who had a strong year.

If your business made real money this year and nobody has walked you through your options, send me a message and we can look at where you stand.

7 records to keep after you file, and two of them stay a lot longer than three years.

Most of it needs to stay at least three years, because that's the window where your return can still be reviewed. A couple of things stay much longer than that. If you sell on eBay, Poshmark, or Whatnot, or you take payments through Square, PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App, the yearly summary from each one is the backbone of your return. And if business money is still running through your personal account, the records you need are the ones you don't have yet.

Want the full plain-English checklist on what to check before you file? Send me a message and I'll send it your way.

Three tax dates land between now and January. Find yours.

You, the owner
September 15 is your Q3 estimated payment. It comes out of your pocket, not the business, whether you run a single-member LLC, an S Corp, or a partnership. The next one after that is January 15.

S Corp and partnership returns
September 15 is the extended deadline if you filed for one.

Sole proprietor and single-member LLC returns
October 15 is the extended deadline if you filed for one.

Missing one adds a penalty to a bill you already owed, which is a rough way to find out you were behind.

I work with people all year so these dates stop being a surprise. That means knowing what you owe before it's due, and having the money set aside when it is.

If you picked up extra income this year or started a business and you're not sure which of these is yours, send me a message and I'll tell you what to put on your calendar.

That wraps up tax planning week.

If you followed along this week, here's the recap:

When to time a big business purchase.

How to handle income that comes in waves.

Why credits beat deductions dollar for dollar.

The deduction LLC and S Corp owners forget to revisit.

The business expenses that quietly add up.

Every one of these is a move you can still make this year. None of them require a perfect filing system or a brand new accountant. They just require knowing they exist.

If even one of these landed and you want to talk through how it applies to your situation, that's exactly what a free 30-minute call is for. Book one at aefinance.co.

Next week I'll be back to regular posts. Until then, sit with the move that hit closest to home.

Most people miss business expenses because they're hidden in personal-sounding categories.

The mileage to drop packages at the post office. The portion of your phone bill that's actually business use. The Canva subscription you use to make every product listing. The shipping supplies you bought at Costco mixed in with groceries. The home office space you've never measured.

None of these feel like business expenses because they're not invoiced or itemized as business expenses. But the IRS doesn't require an invoice to claim them. It requires records and a business purpose.

For someone running a side business at any scale, missed expenses can easily add up to $3,000 to $8,000 in deductions a year. That's not a rounding error.

Two simple moves that fix this without changing your life: track every business mile in an app starting today, and move every business expense to a separate card or account. Both take ten minutes to set up and pay back forever.

If you own an LLC, run an S Corp, or work for yourself, there's a deduction worth checking on every year.

It lets self-employed people, LLC owners, and S Corp owners deduct up to 20% of their business profits before tax is calculated.

Twenty percent. Of your business profits.

For a business making $80,000 in profit, that's a $16,000 deduction. It's the biggest tax break most small business owners qualify for, and most of them barely understand it.

The catch: the income limits, what counts as qualifying business income, and how it interacts with the rest of your tax picture has gotten more complicated. If you set it up once with a previous accountant and haven't looked at it since, your situation might have shifted without you noticing.

If you've never had this deduction explained in plain English, that conversation by itself is worth a free 30-minute call. Book one at aefinance.co.

Tomorrow: the business expenses you're probably leaving on the table.
