General federal tax guidance; state rules and individual circumstances may differ.<\/small><\/p>\n<p>Record cash business receipts as you receive them. Cash income does not become tax-free because it stays out of your bank account or arrives without a 1099.<\/p>\n<h2>What belongs in a cash income log?<\/h2>\n<p>Record the date, amount, type of business receipt, and a reference to supporting records. Use a consistent system and keep it secure. Avoid collecting unnecessary intimate or identifying details.<\/p>\n<h2>How should I handle bank deposits?<\/h2>\n<p>Reconcile cash receipts, cash expenses, and deposits. Depositing money you already recorded as income does not create a second sale. Identify transfers, loans, and other non-sales deposits separately.<\/p>\n<h2>Example: receipts versus deposits<\/h2>\n<p>If you receive $300 cash and later deposit $200 of it, your business receipt remains $300. The $200 deposit is movement of that same money, not additional revenue.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I document cash expenses?<\/h2>\n<p>Keep the receipt or invoice, amount, date, payee, proof of payment, and business purpose. A handwritten total alone may not provide enough support.<\/p>\n<h2>Can SWT help with incomplete records?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. Tell us which years are involved and what records you have. We can discuss organizing available records and preparing accurate filings. Do not invent figures or destroy original documents.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/what-kind-of-records-should-i-keep\">IRS business recordkeeping guidance<\/a><\/p>\n<section class=\"swt-panel\">\n<h2>Get help with your situation<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"swt-button\" href=\"sms:7179780469\">Text SWT: 717-978-0469<\/a> \u00b7 Text only<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sexworkertaxes.com\/index.php\/contact\/\">Request tax help<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/sexworkertaxes.com\/index.php\/blog\/\">More tax resources<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Send sensitive documents only through the secure method provided by your tax team.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><\/main><\/p>\n<footer class=\"swt-footer\"><strong>SEX WORKER TAXES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your occupation is your business.
