Help - Worksheet for expenses and Ottawa accountant ???

[Inspired by Reggio]

Ok.. I thought that the at had to seperate all the food, household supplies etc... on the walmart receipts :S if I dont have to do that then great cause that was gonna take forever

Awesome ladies thank you so much !

Just to clarify YES you need a way to tally what is 'daycare' verses 'personal' from any shared receipts as you cannot include 'personal use' expenses on any receipts as daycare expenses ... so if you go to Walmart and buy somethings that are daycare and some that are personal you would highlight or something on the receipt what was for 'daycare' and only record the 'daycare' totals into your Excel file ... if a receipt is ALL daycare than you can just tally as is.


I am anal and like to know what I spend on both personal and business over the year so I tally my personal stuff as well in a column but that is just me and also acts as a back up to show in an audit ~ see I spent $20,000 total in grocery / cleaning supplies and $12,000 of that was personal use and $8000 was business use.

Also as Playfelt stated the actual paper style tax form only has like 5 preset categories if I remember correctly ~ so if you want to decided was 'supplies' means to you and put everything under the one category you can ~ I have more in my list because my accountants program when I started and the Turbo Tax allows extra lines cause they are computer generated and can 'create' them for you plus I am anal and like to budget out my toys and equipment from my creative art supplies and so forth for my own personal reference ~ but can easy total those back together again into one 'supplies' category for taxes.

Taxes suck for sure so figure out as system that is easiest and works for you
