We’ve simplified the journey with a step-by-step guide
Step 1
Get your business income and expenses on record
Make sure all your income and expenses for the relevant tax year are on the books, up-to-date, and organized. Taking a little time to get it all down on paper will help you (or your accountant) get the clearest picture of your business.
Step 2
Explore your tax credit and deduction eligibility
Certain expenses, including many business expenses, can be deducted from your taxable income, lowering your tax bill. Examples of tax deductions can include equipment purchased for an office, advertising costs, and even business meals. To claim deductions, you need to make sure your bookkeeping is up to date and that you've maintained accurate records of each expense.
If you’re a small business owner, there are also several other tax credits you may qualify for. Working with a tax consultant can help you cover all your bases and make sure you get all the calculations just right.

Step 3
Put your paperwork in order
Whether you’re getting ready to dig in or hand your taxes over to a qualified accountant, make sure you’re prepared with all your important documents, including:
- Income forms like W-2s and 1099s
- Tax returns from the previous year
- Records of business expenses
- Proof of childcare expenses and medical costs (if any)
- Records of payment on mortgage interest and property taxes
Step 4
File away
If you’ve got multiple income streams or employees, tax filing can get complicated. Work with a trustworthy accountant to manage this process more efficiently and avoid missing your tax deadlines.
