10/16/2023YES, receipts are required in case of an audit. The tax authorities or auditors may ask for receipts and other supporting documentation during an audit to ensure accurate tax returns or financial statements.
Receipts serve as proof of transactions and expenses claimed on tax returns. They contain details such as the transaction date, parties involved, amount, and expense type. Proper receipts or documentation make it easier to prove the reported expenses’ validity, which could lead to issues during an audit.
To support your financial transactions in case of an audit, you should keep accurate and organized records, including receipts, invoices, bank statements, and other relevant documents. Different States and jurisdictions may have specific requirements regarding record-keeping, so it’s advisable to consult local tax regulations or a Bookkeeper to ensure compliance with the rules applicable to your situation.

AI cannot substitute a professional bookkeeper because bookkeeping involves not only data entry but also complex interpretation, judgment, and decision-making. Professional bookkeepers bring their experience, knowledge, and personalized service to handle unique business needs, communicate effectively with clients, and navigate complex financial transactions. They possess the ability to exercise judgment, assess credibility, and provide tailored financial advice based on individual circumstances. Furthermore, bookkeepers play a crucial role in ensuring legal compliance with ever-changing tax laws and regulations. While AI can assist with data analysis and automation, it lacks the human touch, intuition, and expertise that a professional bookkeeper brings to the table.

A Profit and Loss (P&L) Report, also known as an Income Statement, is a financial statement that tells you how well a business did financially.

The report shows how much money a business makes (revenue) and how much it spends (expenses) during a certain period. If the business made more money than it spent, then it has a profit. But if the business spent more money than it made, then it has a loss.

The P&L Report is important because it helps business owners and other people interested in the business, like investors and lenders, see how well the business is doing financially. They can use this information to decide whether they want to invest in the business or loan it money.

The only way to get a reliable Report is to have reliable and well-done Bookkeeping. It can be done daily, monthly, or quarterly depending on your business’s size and/or complexity.

Don’t wait until Taxes Season to take care of your Business Books.
