Description

There’s often a misconception when it comes to figuring out what you’ll be taxed on in your business.  This is normally referred to as your net income.  Many business owners will take a look at their business bank account and think this is the number they will use for their net income or what they will be paying taxes on, but it isn’t an accurate way to look at it, and it causes a lot of problems, especially if that bank account balance is lower than the actual net income.  I’ve heard many times that business owners don’t think they will owe much for taxes because they only have a small dollar amount in their bank account.  In today’s podcast episode, I cover some of the main reasons why there may be a gap between your bank balance and your net income.  It may seem like your bank balance would be an accurate way to tell what you’ll be paying taxes on, but you’ll find out today what can cause this number to not match what your true profit and loss or net income amount.  Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper or accountant, a virtual assistant or VA, or other professional, when you are trying to figure out what you’re tax liability will be based on, I want you to make sure you are as prepared as possible for filing your taxes, and you don’t have any surprises pop up…
