Book excerpt: As a small business, filing your taxes properly can help you to save a lot of money. Therefore, it is very important that you keep an accurate record of your business expenses. So, you will need to save all your receipts. These receipts are what you will use to back up your claims when you are completing the various forms to file to the Internal Revenue Service or IRS. This is especially important when it comes to the authentication of the deductions that you can take as a small business. It is very important that you consult with an advisor or an account before you make the claim for certain deductions. This is to double check and ensure that you are qualified to take these deductions.
