What Each Tab Does

1

Start Here

Step-by-step instructions. Read this first — it walks you through exactly how to use every tab. Takes 2 minutes.

2

Business Info

Your name, business name, EIN, address — everything your tax preparer needs. Fill it once, reference it all year.

3

Transactions

500-row tracker with dropdown categories that map to Schedule C line numbers. Enter your bank transactions here — date, description, amount, and pick a category. That's it.

4

Schedule C Summary

Auto-calculates your totals by Schedule C line number. As you enter transactions, this tab updates automatically. Hand this to your tax preparer — it mirrors the actual IRS form.

5

6
