What's in the Tax Report

Section

What It Includes

Mileage Deduction

Total business miles and calculated deduction

Net Profit

Your taxable business income

Step-by-Step

  1. Go to Tools > Import/Export > Export

  2. Select the tax year

  3. Choose Tax Report format

  4. The export includes:

  • Sales summary by month

  • Expense totals by category

  • Mileage log with deduction calculation

  • Receipt images (if included)

  1. Send the file to your accountant

Schedule C Category Mapping (US)

Your expense categories are mapped to specific lines on IRS Schedule C (Form 1040), so the report comes out organized the way your accountant expects -- for example, Platform Fees on line 10 (Commissions and fees) and Inventory Purchases as Cost of goods sold. Built-in categories are pre-mapped, and you can change any mapping in Reports > settings gear > Schedule C Categories. See How do I map my expense categories to IRS Schedule C lines?.

Good to Know

  • Flippd is not tax software and doesn't file taxes for you -- always consult a tax professional

  • The more consistently you track expenses, receipts, and mileage throughout the year, the easier tax time is

  • You can export at any time -- you don't have to wait for year end

  • Keep your receipt photos attached to expenses for complete records
