The Bookkeeping Pros

10/19/2026

The old $600 threshold has changed for tax year 2026 and increased to $2,000 for many qualifying payments.

Crucial reminder for all small businesses and gig workers:

Income is still taxable. You’re required to track and report all taxable business income, even if you earn less than $2,000 and don’t receive a 1099.

The main difference is fixing past mistakes vs. catching up on missing work:

Clean-Up Bookkeeping
Your books are up to date, but they may contain errors or inconsistencies. Clean-up can include:

- Correcting miscategorized transactions
- Fixing duplicate or inaccurate entries
- Reconciling account discrepancies
- Reviewing financial records for accuracy

Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Your bookkeeping has fallen behind and needs to be brought current. Catch-up can include:

- Entering months of missing transactions
- Reconciling past bank and credit card accounts
- Recording outstanding income and expenses
- Bringing financial reports up to date

Either way, getting your books in order means clearer numbers, better decisions, and less stress at tax time.

Not sure which one your business needs? Let’s talk!

Don’t pull your 2027 goals out of thin air!

Start with your actual 2026 numbers.

Here’s what to look at:

- Revenue: What did you actually bring in this year?

- Profit: How much did you keep after expenses?

- Expenses: Where did you overspend or where could you cut back?

- Cash flow: Which months were tight and which were strong?

- Best sellers: Which services or products made you the most money?

- Budget vs. actual: Where did you miss or exceed your targets?

Then use those numbers to set realistic revenue goals, build your budget, plan expenses, and forecast your cash flow for 2027.

Your 2026 numbers should help you decide what to do differently in 2027.

But you need accurate, up-to-date books to plan with accurate numbers, and that’s where we can help.

You should start paying attention to your cash flow now, NOT when you’re struggling to cover expenses.

Here are the money conversations you should be having with yourself or your CFO:

- How much cash is actually coming in each month?

- What large expenses are coming up?

- How much is sitting in unpaid invoices?

- Can we comfortably cover payroll, taxes, and other bills?

- Which expenses are increasing?

- Do we have enough cash set aside for slower months?

- What does our cash flow look like for the next 30, 60, and 90 days?

Good cash flow management starts with knowing what’s coming before it happens.
