Employees are responsible for accurately reporting the tips they receive, but the employer is not free from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/tip-recordkeeping-and-reporting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">obligation<\/a> to report on these. Complexities can arise when multiple service providers are splitting tips on a single client service. If your systems don\u2019t allow you to accurately report the distribution of these payments, you could be reporting that income as having been received by one person, unfairly increasing their tax burden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complex commission structures can also create hassles for employees unless you\u2019ve properly defined payments within the software. You may offer certain commission rates for services but other commissions for products. The accuracy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/features\/payroll\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=pet-home-page&amp;utm_term=link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">payroll records<\/a> you generate drives the accuracy of your reports on the tax liability of employees (and contractors).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-h-3-bigger-font-size wp-elements-48e6b09ae3c87fe75468649cd2ae98f2\"><strong>Accounting Integration<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>QuickBooks (or your preferred accounting software) is a great way to record your business expenses and your income details. However, if you are using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/blog\/pet-care-need-to-know-when-evaluating-booking-and-management-software\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=pet-blog&amp;utm_term=link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business management software<\/a> to run all other aspects of your business (e.g., appointment scheduling, inventory management, payroll) you\u2019ll ideally want to integrate these systems to maximize the software\u2019s capabilities. Simplifying this connection also means fewer reports for you to print or export for your accountant or tax preparation service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-h-3-bigger-font-size wp-elements-3bbf7451c9a7fd4588b9b5510e24be70\"><strong>Classify Your Workers<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grooming industry frequently classifies some workers as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/blog\/solving-staffing-struggles-in-the-pet-care-industry\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=pet-blog&amp;utm_term=link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employees<\/a> and other workers as independent contractors. The reporting requirements and tax implications for both are different, but equally important. Independent contractors typically rent some space within a business. They do their own advertising, set their own schedule, and maintain their own client relationships. People who rent space within a shop are required to supply a 1099 tax form declaring the amount of rent paid during that taxable period. This is far from common practice, but it is the law.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deliberately misclassifying a worker is a crime. Don\u2019t do it\u2014even if they ask you to! The penalties can be significant, and you could be opening yourself to further scrutiny by tax officials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-h-3-bigger-font-size wp-elements-3d426244815199eab216f615357df406\"><strong>Deductions<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRS describes legitimate write-offs as \u201cboth ordinary and necessary.\u201d This means that they deem expenses as \u201cordinary\u201d if they\u2019re standard for someone with the same job, and \u201cnecessary\u201d if they are central to the performance of the job (no, lattes don\u2019t count). You\u2019ll be well served to deduct only expenses for which you have documentation. Didn\u2019t save your receipts? Comb through credit card and bank statements from last year in search of qualifying expenses\u2014it could be very worth your while. Any questions you have about the validity of deductions are best addressed by a certified financial planner or tax preparer. Better safe than sorry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some deductions are obvious, such as rent, capital expenses (like furniture), business expenses (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/blog\/five-effective-ways-to-fetch-new-pet-business-clients\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=pet-blog&amp;utm_term=link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advertising<\/a>), and charitable donations. However, others may not be as apparent. For example, the fees to renew your professional license may be deductible, along with any expenses incurred while attending an industry trade show or educational event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-small\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/shutterstock_2010273710.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/shutterstock_2010273710.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/shutterstock_2010273710-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/shutterstock_2010273710-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-h-3-bigger-font-size wp-elements-9ecc13760ff8b0a088ca19986fb584e8\"><strong>Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change doesn\u2019t have to be scary! Staying informed is one of the best ways to prepare your small business for tax season.

Platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">QuickBooks<\/a> also provide helpful resources, such as templates and informative blogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-h-3-bigger-font-size wp-elements-749a9a4dba248ff3dcf2e80737ad84e8\"><strong>Reporting<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recurring theme in this blog has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/features\/business-reporting\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=pet-home-page&amp;utm_term=link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reporting<\/a>. The ability to generate accurate reports on what was done, who was paid, and when is critical at tax time. If you\u2019re managing your business with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/blog\/switching-your-pet-business-from-pen-paper-bookkeeping-to-software\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=pet-blog&amp;utm_term=link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paper ledgers<\/a> or shoeboxes full of receipts, this could make it challenging to easily answer the many questions required for a tax return.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While switching to business management software at this point won\u2019t help with last year\u2019s taxes, now is the perfect time to commit to implementing one for this year. If you were savvy enough to adopt software from the start, you\u2019re likely enjoying the convenience of answering your accountant\u2019s questions with the push of a button. Many of these software suites offer dozens of reports to address any question that might arise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-h-3-bigger-font-size wp-elements-452f3d23153def8aa89b6fd6d713a9ca\"><strong>Next Steps for a Stress-Free Tax Season<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running a pet grooming business means juggling a lot of financial tasks, but don\u2019t worry\u2014we&#8217;re here to help you stay organized and stress-free.
