# The Schedule C Worksheet

> A tax-time view of your income and expenses organized by IRS Schedule C line.

## Overview

The Schedule C Worksheet rolls up your entire year of business income and expenses, organized by IRS Schedule C line, so you (or your tax preparer) can see everything in one place. It's a prep worksheet to make tax time easier — not a filed return. Always review the figures with a tax professional before filing.

## Where to Find It

Tap **Schedule C** in the sidebar to open `/reports/schedule-c`. The page is titled "Schedule C Worksheet" with the description "Tax-time view of every business expense rolled up by IRS Schedule C line."

Use the **tax-year pills** at the top to switch between the current year and the prior two.

## It's a Worksheet, Not a Filing

A banner at the top reads "Worksheet — not a filed return": "This document organizes your business income and expenses by Schedule C line for review with a tax professional. It is NOT an IRS filing… Verify every figure with your tax preparer before filing."

<Note>Good to know: Knead does not file taxes for you. This worksheet is a head start — your tax preparer takes it from here.</Note>

## What's in the Worksheet

The worksheet is laid out to mirror the actual Schedule C form:

* **Part I — Income**
  * Line 1 — Gross receipts (cash basis)
  * Line 4 — Cost of goods sold
  * Line 7 — Gross income
* **Part II — Expenses** — one row per Schedule C line, ending in Line 28 Total expenses
* **Part III — Cost of Goods Sold** — totaling to Line 42

At the bottom:

* Line 29 — Tentative profit
* Line 30 — Business use of home (not calculated — ask your preparer)
* Line 31 — Net profit (or loss)

If you've logged mileage, you'll see a note such as "Line 9 includes mileage: N miles × IRS standard rate = \$X".

## Exporting

Two export buttons sit at the top:

* **PDF** — opens the worksheet in a new tab
* **CSV** — downloads a file named `schedule-c-{year}.csv`

The same CSV export lives on your P\&L, Expenses, Mileage, and Jar → Payments screens. See [Exporting Reports for Your Accountant](/bookkeeping-and-taxes/exporting-reports-for-your-accountant).

## Fixing Uncategorized Expenses

If any expenses aren't mapped to a category, you'll see a warning: "\$X in uncategorized expenses are not in the totals below… Map them in Settings → Categories and re-export." Until they're mapped, those amounts are left out of the totals — so it's worth clearing the warning before you export.

The footer link "Edit category mappings →" takes you to the category settings.

<Tip>Pro tip: Clear any uncategorized warning first, then export a fresh PDF or CSV. That way the file you hand your preparer includes every dollar.</Tip>
