About

Income and Expenses Tracksheet

The income and expenses tracking sheet is an Excel spreadsheet designed to help you keep track of your writing income and writing related expenses.  It is useful to track these items for tax purposes.  If you add rows to the spreadsheet, be sure to add new income rows above row 18 and new expense rows above row 35, so that the totals continue to sum correctly. 

Enter Income earning jobs, royalties, fees, etc in column C under "Income" (examples are provided.) Similarly, enter Expenses in column C under "Expenses."  Consult your tax preparer for guidance as necessary.  All headers in row 1 are editable, so if you are beginning your income and expense tracking in 2011, just adjust the headers accordingly.
