| Accounting/tax filing software |
 |

q1. What's the best software to use to do accounting and file tax for the sole proprietor?
q1.2. Is there any software that I can do both or I should get two different software? If so, which ones?
q2. What's the best software to use to do accounting and file tax for LLC?
q2.2. Is there any software that I can do both or I should get two different software? If so, which ones?
I'm sure that a bunch of people ask these questions all the time, but I'm finally looking into this now. I know I'm late in the game, but I have not been able to take time to look into this for the last couple of months for variety of reasons. I'd greatly appreciate any help on this.

I think if you get the "Home & Business" version that should do just fine for scenario #1. As far as the accounting, I just did that in a spreadsheet.
How did you do this? Do you use some kind of template? If so, is it available for download?

Ok, I found several excel templates at the following page:
http://www.dotxls.com/free-templates/16/free-excel-templates---finance-and-accounting-templates
The following templates are available:
# Accounts Receivable Aging Workbook
# Asset Depreciation Schedule
# Billing Statement (Invoice)
# Expense Report
# Payroll Calculator
# Product Sales Sample
# Year-End Tax Plan
q1. You need to use "Asset Depreciation Schedule" only if you have an asset, whatever that is, right?
q2. Do you need to make use of "Product Sales Sample" if you are just providing services like legal service, IT service, etc.?

I didn't look at the spreadsheet, but I'm assuming the asset depreciation schedule refers to tax treatment of things you buy for use in your business that are expected to last for a while: office equipment and so forth. Usually the expense is spread over several years. Check the IRS website and search "business depreciation"
Yeah, you can get 100% deductions for some things, but you can only get partial deductions for other things, though you can do that in the coming years until you get 100% deductions. Yeah, I got it now ... Tx.
Another question.
q3. Should I just use a modified version of "# Product Sales Sample" if I provide service and generate income that way?

BTW, how many spread sheets did you create for yourself? Also how many did you submit to IRS?

... the IRS only sees them if you're audited, or if you need to provide supplemental documentation to support what you entered on a form.
... that's what I thought. I was just checking a couple of documents explaining about Gross Receipts Tax and form LQ2 9501 (Delaware Gross Receipts Tax form) yesterday, but it didn't say anything about providing additional information.
