I do everything by old pen and paper! I would love to have it on the computer but I am so computer-illiterate! I have four pages with each catagory laid out and I put everything in then total it for the month. Then at the bottom of each page is the year-to-date total.
I just did my taxes yesterday and for a centre with $20,000 in fees, $5,000 in grants/subsidies it costs over $15,000 in direct-operating costs to run. My household costs are $4,000 and my wage is around $6,000. That's $1,000 a month as I don't count out the household costs. I also go to H & R Block as I have a woman who is very informed about the profession's tax deductions. It cost $208 - $10 for them to be filed.
I do mine for April 30th. as they need to be filed with my spouses although I do have the option of June. Yes, it is a business anywhere you go.
