Freelancers and sole proprietors: small bookkeeping habits lead to bigger Schedule C savings. We recommend three simple practices that pay off come tax time — and we’ll prepare your return with care, guided by Mary Mayes‑Smith’s years of experience. 1) Use a separate business bank account — clearer records mean fewer disputed expenses and smoother deductions. 2) Keep a mileage log — consistent tracking maximizes vehicle-related deductions and supports business-use claims. 3) Categorize and retain receipts — organized categories reduce errors and increase deductible opportunities. We handle the rest with our tailored preparation process to reduce mistakes and help you keep more of what you earn. Learn more and get started: https://wix.to/pSdlHTr
