Tax Advantages for Network Marketing Professionals

Network Marketing Professionals Be Prepared for Tax Season

If you are in Network Marketing plan now for tax season it will make your life much easier at the end of the year. We like to keep up with our receipts, daily, weekly and monthly to get the most deductions throughout the year. We have started using tax bot for tracking our receipts and it makes mileage almost effortless to keep up with our trips.There is a tab where you can take a pic and attach it to the proper expense report.

Ways to reduce the chance of an audit

1, Use a Professional and have them file it electronically.

2. Make sure the IRS has your correct address.

3. Report all of your income. The IRS has software programs to find people who don’t report all of their income.

4. Keep records of advice given to your by your tax professional.

Here are just a few examples of things and ways to be prepared for the 2017 tax season. We are personally using the Tax Bot app to make it easier when it is time to hand it over to our CPA. We really like the mileage tracker on this app. It does everything for you, you just have to classify what the business trip was for. We are by no means tax experts, that is why we recommend finding an established professional like ours, that is familiar with network marketing business. For all of our local friends we use Kevin Sizemore and highly recommend him as he is very knowledgeable about Network Marketing.
