Four reports for tax preparation
Whether for tax preparation or for monthly bookkeeping, you definitely want to check out ClassJuggler’s…
- Deposit Summary report
- Customer Payments report
- Customer Applied Payments report
- Company Billing report
Let’s go over all four of these. Here’s where you will find them within ClassJuggler:
How you do your accounting (cash-based vs. accrual-based) effects which of these ClassJuggler financial reports will benefit you most in your bookkeeping, and especially at tax time.
Deposit Summary report [for CASH accounting]
This report shows you summarized info about payments you have received, organized by type, for any period of time.
This is ideal for reconciling your checkbook and your merchant account activity and deposits.
Customer Payments [for CASH accounting]
This report shows all the income you are receiving daily, weekly, monthly, or for any period of time you choose.
The report will total payments in a variety of ways you choose to make reconciliation and deposit reporting simple. For tax reporting, you can simply total it by the previous year.
Customer Applied Payments [for CASH accounting]
The Customer Applied Payments report links payments you receive to the charges they were applied to, and can tell you exactly how much was earned by a particular charge account or by account category.
Note: It will only show applied amounts, so if a customer has a credit balance remaining, those amounts will not yet be factored in.
=EXAMPLE=
Say you posted $1,000 in tuition and $200 in merchandise in the month you are running the report on, and you received $1,300 in payments for the same period; only the $1,200 applied to charges will be considered “earned,” leaving $100 un-applied.
Company Billing [for ACCRUAL accounting]
The Company Billing report displays a list of charges your company has posted in a particular period of time. Since this is only showing what you have posted in charges, and not what has been paid or not paid by your customers, this is the go-to report for businesses that use accrual-based accounting for their bookkeeping.
=EXAMPLE=
Say you posted $1,000 in tuition and $300 in merchandise during the month in which you are now running the Company Billing report; the report would return $1,300 total in products and services billed out to your customers.
