Q: Does it really matter if I mix business and personal expenses?
A: Yes, especially when tax season rolls around!
Keeping business and personal finances separate makes tax prep easier, keeps your records more accurate and can help reduce questions from the IRS.
Business expenses generally need to be “ordinary and necessary” to qualify for a deduction. Mixing expenses can mean accidentally overstating deductions or missing legitimate business expenses you paid for personally.
It can also make it harder to get a clear picture of your profitability and cash flow. For corporations and LLCs, separate finances also help maintain a clear distinction between you and your business.
A little organization now can make tax season much easier!
