Expense Reports

[bubbleepink]

Hi everyone,

I am getting ready to file my taxes and I want to get everything organized. I was running my own tutoring "business" for part of 2010 and I want to track my expenses. I want to create a basic spread sheet so that I can find out what my monthly expenses vs income was. Does anyone have a spreadsheet that they can suggest? Or are there any suggestions you can make to help me create one.

TIA

bubbleepink--I just created a very simple spreadsheet in excel to keep track of my DH's side business expenses & income. For expenses, I made columns for the date, item purchased, place purchases, and amount with a running total at the top. For income, I had columns for date, person/business income received from, and amount with a running total at the top as well. If you wanted to break these down monthly, that would be really easy to do as well, just by adding more sheets to the spreadsheet. If you want an example, PM me and I can send you a blank version of what I did.

I use openoffice.org Calc Takes a little getting used, to but I like it. BTW it also runs on all platforms, Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD and Unix. So you can use it at work, if they are on a different platform.
