Your Expense Category System
Categorizing expenses correctly is essential for accurate tax deductions. The either/or dilemma is often between manually compiling messy receipts vs. using a clear, pre-defined category system. The single-entry system provides a clear, organized solution.
Your Check Disbursements Journal is where you record all the money you spend, broken down by category. You create separate columns for your most frequent expense categories, like 'Materials,' 'Rent,' or 'Utilities'. For everything else, you can use a 'General Accounts' column. This is a Simple and Sound practice that saves time and money at tax time.
