I put together this blueprint for U.S. based businesses to tackle annual tax preparation. If you’re located outside of the U.S., there will obviously be some changes to this.

This checklist provides a timeline for business owners who have taxes due on March 15th. If you operate as a sole proprietor, you will have some additional time.

Also, as you go through this, keep in mind that if your accountant or bookkeeper will be handling some/all of this, they may need additional time.
