Copy Your Receipts
When you save your receipts for your end-of-year tax hell, it’s a very good idea to xerox them or at least write down the details elsewhere. Today’s receipts tend to fade–especially cash register tape from restaurants and your local ATM. Most freelancers get burned by this once and say “Never again!” but if you’re on your first year of saving those receipts, do yourself a favor–spare your eyes trying to figure out what was printed on those year-old register tapes and get copies or write them in a ledger.
