Tax Tips:
Many business owners receive their monthly bank statements without copies of their checks. In IRS audits, the
IRS has requested not only copies of the bank statements but also cancelled checks.
Tip - If you are not receiving copies of
the cancelled checks with your bank statements, ask immediately that they be received. This is the only method the IRS has to
substantiate that a payment was made to a vendor, and that it matches your records.
Many bank employees say that you can download
copies of the checks off their website. Guess what, when you need them a year down the road, the images are not there.
Make
sure that each month, when you obtain your bank statement, copies of the checks are included.
