πŸ”₯ Lazy or Legal? Let's Talk Schedule L πŸ”₯

Balance sheet MIA? You're not alone. One of the most common mysteries in small business bookkeeping:

β€œWhy is Schedule L completely blank?” πŸ€”

Β Let’s break it down without breaking your brain:

πŸ’₯ 3 Truth Bombs from the Episode:
🧾 Schedule L isn't required for S Corps under $250K in sales or assets. That’s not lazyβ€”it’s legal.

πŸ”Ž Rebuilding a balance sheet? Start with cash πŸ’΅, loans πŸ’³, and plug retained earnings. Boom. Done.

🀐 Stop calling accountants lazy (even if you really want to). They're following the rules... mostly.


✨ This episode had us learning, laughing, and low-key rethinking our name-calling habits.
Β 
πŸ“Š If you’ve ever stared at a blank Schedule L and screamed internallyβ€”this one’s for you.
