Your Schedule C summary

Reports → Schedule C summary lines up your income and expenses with IRS Schedule C, line by line, with your estimated net profit; it's on every plan.

Updated

Schedule C (Profit or Loss From Business) is the IRS form sole proprietors and single-member LLCs file with their personal return. Tallibook keeps your numbers lined up with it all year.

Open it

Go to Reports → Schedule C summary. Pick the dates at the top, like this year or last year.

The Schedule C summary, line by line

What you'll see

  • Part I · Income: money in by line. Most income is line 1 (gross receipts); "Other income" is line 6.
  • Part II · Expenses: each line with its total. Tap a line to see the categories and expenses behind it.
  • Line 9, car and truck: your mileage deduction plus parking and tolls. See How the mileage deduction works.
  • Line 24b, meals: what you spent, and the 50% that counts.
  • Estimated net profit (line 31).

Notes for you and your preparer

At the bottom, Tallibook explains the parts it doesn't work out for you:

  • Home office (line 30) isn't calculated. Home office expenses are listed for your preparer, not deducted.
  • Cost of goods sold is a single total; the details of Part III aren't worked out.
  • Expenses with no category are left out, with a link to fix them.

Why it may differ from Profit & loss

The Profit & loss report shows what you spent (meals at 100%). The Schedule C summary applies tax rules, like counting 50% of meals. So the two "profits" can be a little different. That's expected.
