AKAS II's Quick-Fix Rules of Recordkeeping #1: KEEP IT SIMPLE. Never use a bookkeeping system that you don't understand! #2: KEEP A CALENDAR, DIARY OR JOURNAL OF WHAT YOU DO. Those little scribbles can come in really handy at tax time! #3: IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH MONEY YOU RECEIVED, KEEP THE EVIDENCE. It might be taxable to somebody some day! #4: SAVE ALL DOCUMENTS THAT ARE FOR BUSINESS OR ARE TAX-RELATED TRANSACTIONS. When it's obviously personal and you're certain it won't be taxable or have importance on down the road, shred it! #5: IF YOU'RE NOT REALLY SURE, SAVE IT ANYWAY. It's better to be safe than sorry! Never underestimate the importance of recordkeeping. See the Recordkeeping Kits for more! TaxTip SM   is a free service of AKAS II and does not contain legal or tax advice.
