Now that 2021 is over, what does this mean for your small business? and what your business goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n

While many people focus on celebrations and new year’s resolution this time of year, small business owners also need to focus on year-end business planning. This includes both preparing for the new year, AND taking reflection of 2021!<\/p>\n

But because the end of the year is so hectic, it’s not always easy to keep up with all the end-of-year tax preparations you should be doing to wind down 2021 and plan for 2022. We have put together a checklist to help with this process!<\/p>\n

Gather all the documents you can find in your business.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bank statements (12) for each account -to calculate income<\/li>\n
  2. Receipts associated with the business expenses – Expenses<\/li>\n
  3. Receipts of your contributions\/distributions to the business<\/li>\n
  4. Loan, line of credit or lease agreements (this could be for equipment) – Liabilities<\/li>\n
  5. Fixed Asset information and documents (business property, equipment, trucks) – Assets<\/li>\n
  6. Sales tax information – Liabilities<\/li>\n
  7. Mileage or car\/travel expenses – expenses\/deductions<\/li>\n
  8. Home office expenses – expenses\/deductions<\/li>\n
  9. Payroll information (W9 for contractors and W-2’s and I-9’s for all employees) – Liabilities<\/li>\n
  10. Estimated tax payments – Owner’s distribution – Liabilities<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Always check with your CPA or Tax Prep for the list of documents needed but this should get you started on the right track for tax season.<\/p>\n

    <\/h3>\n

    Now let’s talk about what your business goals are for 2022?<\/p>\n
