Days 1-3: The Great Receipt Hunt
Check everywhere:
• Email inboxes (search “receipt”, “invoice”)
• Cloud storage (Drive, Dropbox, iCloud)
• Shopping apps (Amazon, eBay)
• Paper receipts in wallets, bags, desks
• PayPal, Venmo, Cash App history
Find them now before it’s too late.

Days 4-6: Categorize Everything
Use IRS-recognized categories (matches Schedule C):
• Advertising & Marketing
• Car & Truck Expenses
• Contract Labor
• Insurance
• Legal & Professional Services
• Office Expense
• And 6 more…
Don’t guess. IRS Publication 535 defines what qualifies.

Days 7-9: Fill the Gaps
Missing a receipt? You can still claim it.
Use:
• Credit card statements (merchant, date, amount)
• Bank statements (for debit purchases)
• Calendar entries (business purpose)
• Email confirmations
IRS accepts “reasonable reconstruction” for expenses under $75.

Day 13: Final Review & Export
Before handing to your accountant:
1. Export summary PDF by category
2. Review totals vs. last year
3. Flag anything unusual
4. Back up all receipts securely
Your accountant will thank you.

Common “I’ll fix it later” mistakes:
❌ “I’ll deduct it next year” → Expenses must be deducted in the year incurred
❌ “My accountant will figure it out” → They can only deduct what you document
❌ “It’s too small to matter” → $5 here, $10 there = $2,100 annually

What happens if you file without receipts?
IRS audits 0.3% of individual returns…
But 2-4% of Schedule C filers (freelancers/sole proprietors).
Can’t substantiate? Deduction disallowed + interest + potential 20-40% penalty.
