- In this video, I'm giving you my method that I've used for years for organizing your receipts, what expenses to write off, and ultimately how to stay successful and organized as a salon owner! I've been running my small business for 5 1/2 years now so I have some experience under my belt with doing my taxes as a 1099 small business owner. I hope you find these tips helpful, let me know in the comments if you'd like me to do more business type videos like this!

I'm an accountant and this has really good information that I was looking for. I do want to clarify a few things. 1] Paying taxes throughout the year (quarterly) is the law, not a personal preference. Failing to do this can subject you to penalties and interest to both the Federal and State governments. 2] You need receipts for ALL expenses claimed on your return, not just the variable ones. 3] Be careful about expensing all "fixtures". You may need to capitalize and depreciate some of the items that have longer useful lives (more than 1-year life). Make sure you are disclosing these purchases with your accountant to determine when/if purchased items are expenses or assets. Thanks for the video!
I have been doing nails for 20 yes, I have never done quarterly taxes!!😬 I did not know this was the Law, my accountant has never told me this
@@brandywatson7219 If you or your spouse had a job that withheld taxes then you might have been paying in enough during the year in the past. However, withholding rules changed in 2020, and for many, reduced the amount of withholding. Work with your accountant to make sure you have enough withholding and/or paying estimated taxes quartly to avoid penalties at year end.

I like your video very informative information, however, as we prepare to do bookkeeping, we mostly refer to bank statements and for cash transactions we would refer to receipts.
I am also a Tax Advisor and Planner for business .. we would show you throughout the year how to maximize your business to get the more write offs for your business and pay less taxes.
Each accountant works differently and we offer different services.
In general I always like to educate my client and I always want to meet with them at least 3-4 times a year.
Very helpful thank you
Thank you for making this video ❤️😊
Very helpful! Thank you very much! 💖
Very very helpful
Thanks for this video! So helpful 🙌🏼
Thank you for creating this video.. so helpful!!! 😇
Angel Garden you’re welcome, glad you liked it 💗
Thank you so much for this
so helpful thank you!
I am an Esti! So when I buy my devices like microneedling pen or my wax pot, which area do I put those in? Would it be workplace fixtures, or electronics???
Amazing video thank you
Prayers works people! A big confirmation
amen!
Great information
Thank you!!
thank you very helpful
Helpful thank you
QuickBooks helps a lot also
Can we use cosmo school as a write off? Like how much we’re paying for school ,the supplies we’re having to buy while in school, mileage for gas to commute to & from school, our lunch that we have to buy while on breaks at school, gas when we have to travel to field trips for school, or business cards?
i’m not sure, I would ask your accountant!
@@WholyHair ok thank you for responding! Have a blessed day ❤️
Thank you!
Hi taxes have changed so much in the last couple of years could you possibly do an update on this video this was very helpful at the time but things have changed.
very true, i’ve thought about doing an updated one! i’ve been so busy lately, but i’ll try!!
Wowwwwwww life saverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr omgggggggg
💗
Read Income Tax Shattering the Myth. If you live in one of the fifty states just making a living, you are swearing on these forms that you operate out of DC and surrounding islands. You are also filing class 2 forms (gift and donations). The IRS LOVES you for donating.
I was told by my accountant that writing off cc processing fees is non factor as the fees are automatically deducted from your profit prior to your credit card processor making deposits into your bank account ( at least this is how square works.)
Please don’t ever delete your videos/channel!!!
For the receipt savings, could the receipts be scanned as documents or do they have to be the originals
?
This makes me feel love it I am stressing out right now trying to figure out my taxes for my accountant right now. She’s asked me and it’s coming down to the wire. I was just like you my first year, and I kind of just threw myself into the business not really organized. I saved a lot of receipts but I don’t know if I have them all so now I’m going back and trying to find them. Also about half way through the year I jumped on QuickBooks attached to my work debit card so my question is how do I make sure I do not duplicate receipts that I have and receipts that are used using my QuickBooks debit card do I just look at the receipt and if it’s on a debit card that I know it’s probably in QuickBooks?
that’s a great question, I haven’t used any electronic things like that for that reason! I print everything out and do paper receipts only, it’s the best way i’ve been able to keep track
I wonder if you could also add daycare
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video! question? Where to get the form 1099? Thanks
you have to file your business with the state to register as a 1099 business owner
I’m a hairstylist but I’m also a waitress and I always filed yearly cause of the waitressing job. I get my W2 from the restaurant and then I file everything. I never got a penalty from my self-employed LLC business. Is it still better to just do it that way or file quarterly taxes for my business and then file for the restaurant taxes once I get the W2? Also, I do withholdings from my restaurant’s paycheck to reduce my tax payments.
jotted down some notes predicate the help!
Good
Hi!!
I have a question and really need help!
So I don't own a salon/suite, I have a DBA and am a traveling hairstylist/MUA mainly doing weddings and 2021 was my first year in business and it's been going great! I opened in Sep so it hasn't even been a year yet however tax season is coming and I have some things to figure out. I've been bookkeeping expenses/income and will have my uncle help me file everything but I was just wondering if you knew what would be better for car write offs, I'm not sure if I should go by miles or car payment/insurance/expenses. I'm not even sure if I can do that, hopefully you know and can help!! That was my only question but other than that loved this video and your background is awesome! Love the Jesus vibes haha! xo
❤️❤️❤️
this was was so helpful thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
What about online receipts do you print those or how do you add your online purchases
Sarah Orozco I will either print them out or write them down on a sheet of paper and keep it with all the other receipts
What about the expenses for your salon you order on Amazon? Or anything online. How do you keep track of those 🤔
it’s annoying but amazon doesn’t send recipes so at the end of the year I go through my past purchases and add them up individually and add them to my expenses
Would you recommend this for stylists who rent a chair in a salon?
Samantha D it depends on if you file as a 1099 or W2. If you file as 1099 than yes
Thank you. Will this work for me as a barber. I pay booth rent every week .?
yes!!
This was so helpful!! Do you write everything down like this when you pay quarterly taxes?
yes! and I print off the receipts too
Are you able to file quarterly as a independent contractor making commission?
Um...if you are renting a suite or booth you are not an independent contractor who would use a 1099. You are a self-employed business owner & most likely would use a Schedule C.
Thank you so much for this. I’m about to open up my salon suite and I’m trying to figure out the business portion. Do you have to use your business debit card to buy expenses to do write offs or can I use any debit card and save the receipts?
I like to use my business debit so I keep things separate, I also have a business credit card for points!
Gotcha. What if you don’t have all of the funds to purchase all of the supplies up front, if you are just starting out with no income from clients? Do you just use your business credit card? I’m sorry for all the questions lol
@@JustMeKortne yes, you can use the credit card, but I would recommend saving up before you go off on your own. it’s not great to start out with debt
Do barbers who earn 65% commission on their work get to write off the 35% they pay the shop?
@@Ghosttowndelivery if they’re getting commission they would probably be a w-2 employee which doesn’t get any write offs
My price tags usually fade by the end of the year?
If I just sell wigs does this apply
If you’re a w2 commission employee and have to provide your own color and tools how would you go about this come tax season?
all your expenses should be able to be a tax write off, but I would ask the person filing your taxes
Do you have to file taxes on the food and clothes you buy for your home
no, only the things related to the business
What do you mean by credit card fees? Are you talking about your credit card bill that you used for personal use like eating out and stuff? Or the fee of the card itself ?
when I swipe someone’s card at the salon with my credit card reader there is a fee i am charged per swipe.
@@WholyHair ohhh I see. I have a similar situation. Our booking app takes a processing fee of 2.7% for every card or prepaid appt. How do you list this as an expense on your card? Because it’s not you that is actually swiping your own card, it’s the clients right? If you can please explain this situation in depth, I’d really appreciate it! Your video was very very very informal. Thank you for replying
@@2222hasib at the end of the year my software system tells me a total of how much I was charged in credit card processing fees so it makes it easy! maybe see if you can find out in the settings
Thank you, can you tell me you paid $4000 out of how much making???
my first year out on my own I had a lot of expenses opening my studio, but I don’t remember exactly how much I made
Do you have a phone that you use specifically for work? I was told that I couldn't write off my phone bill because it's used for personal use as well & it couldn't be divided as to how much of my business was actually done on the phone.
I dont have one just for work, but maybe see if you could write off a portion of it?
Have you ever tried using just bank statements to find everything? I lost a lot of receipts
the bank statements usually don't always go back a full year, I like to have hard copies but thats just my preference!
Do you have to have a business license and a salon license or are they the same thing
you dont need a business license to operate in the state I live in but obvi need a cos license to have a suite
Do you still use quickbooks? Or does vagaro suffice?
I just use Vagaro to track all my transactions, but I use an accountant to file
My bill was $8906 but my accountant told me $7000 and I just don’t understand either one
Do you give your tax lady all of the receipts or just the totals on the paper?
just the totals!
so i don’t have receipts but i have my bank statements
that’s okay, but receipts are best to have a hard copy! some bank statements only go back so far. plus sometimes you may pay in cash
Can you write off insurance?
yes, some insurance you can. you’ll have to ask the person who files for you
Do you have a separate bank account for all hair/salon stuff separate form your personal banking??
yes! I set up a business debit account
So you prayed for organizational and tax skills
No, if you pay attention she prayed because she didn’t know what she was going to do about having to pay 12,000 in taxes at the end of the year. The next day she found over 6,000 in extra receipts she was able to write off that she didn’t otherwise have BEFORE God answered her prayer! So that left her with only having to pay 4,000! That’s what she prayed for! He provided. 💥🙌🏼💥💰
I save everything into my stride-app...check it out...is a app that allows you to save receipts & miles & then i just print it out for my CPA but if you can do your taxes alone for your self then more power to you
