Online Selling Tip of the Week

Something that I’ve found to be very helpful to me this year is logging in all of my receipts for business purchases bi-weekly.

This way, when January rolls around and I’m ready to do my taxes, it’s not a huge process of finding receipts, logging them in, sorting them, etc.
Last year, it took me HOURS to get it all done, receipts were missing, and I also found some receipts a few weeks after I had filed my taxes.  This way, I’m one step ahead of the game.

I usually sit down every other Wednesday and pull out all of the receipts that are in my wallet and toss out any that I don’t need.  Then I log in my eBay and piano related receipts, and file them away when I’m done.  It takes about 10 minutes twice a month.

I love it because not only do I get my receipts logged in and filed away, but I’m also cleaning out my purse and wallet for this process, so I feel SUPER productive getting it all done at the same time.
