Ever need a copy of just a specific period of your bookkeeping records?

You might if the IRS comes calling to audit your income tax return. But there are other times when you may need to use this new feature.

This short mini-lesson shows you how.

If you’re using QuickBooks Pro, Premier or Accountant and Enterprise versions prior to 2012, you may also want to check out this mini-lesson:

Depreciation is a complicated topic. But by tracking depreciation in your business you…

• Get a more accurate picture of what your business is REALLY worth
• Can consult with your accountant for the most advantageous method for taking your depreciation deductions

You’ll learn how to actually record these transactions, as well as when you don’t need to bother.

Complete and accurate books will help you know where you are and where your business can go!

I’d be interested to hear the answer from those who watch this video:

• Are you already tracking depreciation in your business?
• If so, how often?

Watch this short video lesson and learn how to improve the situation with all of these issues.
