FreshBooks is a clean and user-friendly accounting software that stands out for its simplicity and visual appeal. After working with QuickBooks Online, transitioning to FreshBooks or Xero can be a pleasant change. This software is particularly favored by freelancers and small business owners for its ease of use. For example, one of my clients, a media agency, uses FreshBooks to manage and reconcile their invoices. Consequently, I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a straightforward accounting solution.
Here’s how to use FreshBooks effectively for your tax returns:
- Log In to Your Account: FreshBooks provides the option to invite your accountant to access your account for tax preparation. Many of my clients grant me access, which simplifies the tax filing process.
- Generate the “Profit and Loss” Report: Next, create the Profit and Loss report for the relevant taxable year. This report offers a clear summary of your financial performance.
- Use the Report for Tax Filing: Then, transfer the categories and figures from the Profit and Loss report into your Schedule C, 1120, or 1065 return. By doing this, you ensure that your tax return accurately reflects your financial situation.
By utilizing this software, you can manage your accounting efficiently and streamline your tax preparation.

We are here to provide expert assistance and ensure your tax returns are processed smoothly and accurately.
