Wondering how you're going to be TAX READY for your direct sales business?
Uhm, isn't everyone? 😅

I hear it all the time from consultants in direct sales, network marketing & social sellers.

"I need better systems!"

But here's the problem. No one is teaching you how to properly TRACK your accounting and inventory. 🧐

And we know corporate is not giving guidance on this topic...

Friend, I've been right where you are - feeling confused every month. Should I be doing something with my receipts??

I have tried the Excel spreadsheets; believe me, I did.

But I had to enter EVERY.SINGLE.ORDER into a spreadsheet was painful.

I didn't sign up as a direct seller to do data entry for hours. Or to PAY an assistant to do so for me.

Do you feel like you're drowning? Here's your life raft!

You don't need that expensive spreadsheet that doesn't scale.

You need an EASY-TO-USE, semi-automated system BY YOUR SIDE.

Try it free for 14 days; I share the three simple steps to help you finish your business bookkeeping in about 15 minutes a month! 🙌

Stop feeling like you're chasing your tail.

Cut out all the "confusion" and learn how to protect the foundation of your business. (ahem…like the money management part)

Friend, when you have the right systems in place for your business, you'll find yourself working smarter, not harder. Know what that means? You'll be working LESS and making MORE! That is scaling. 💥

Ready to stop procrastinating and make it happen?

P.S. I don't just teach this stuff. I lived it. The systems I will share with you are the exact ones I used to save hundreds of dollars a year in my taxes and grow my direct sales business!
And it's the same system used by many consultants & leaders in the direct sales, network marketing, and social selling industry.

Common tax questions for your direct sales business. 🧐

Q: Can I claim a home office deduction for direct selling?
A: YES!

If you use your residence for business purposes related to your direct selling, you may be able to claim a home office deduction for the portion of the residence used.
To qualify for the deduction, the area of the home must be exclusively used for the business.

For example, if you use a room of your house to solely store inventory, you can claim home office expenses for that room.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about handling inventory for direct sales businesses. 👈

Many people are unsure if they are required to track their inventory and when to write off its costs.

To be very clear, if you receive and hold any product for resale, you must track your inventory and costs for the inventory.

✍️ When you sell the inventory, you are allowed to write off the costs for those products.

However, you will not write off the costs when you purchase the product, only when you sell it.

You may have seen the term (Cost of Goods Sold or COGS).

Don't stress, check out the blog at Direct Sidekick, tax deductions and learn a simple and easy to use system!

How does that sound to you?

Well, instead of showing you how to earn more, I will show you how to keep more of your money and pay less tax on it with these easy-to-track direct sales tax deductions.
