What’s Changing?

Under Section 7805, the IRS emphasizes the importance of maintaining accurate digital records for deductions and credits. This is especially important for industries like retail, transportation, and online services.

Why It Matters

Digital records make it easier to:

  • Track expenses

  • Prepare for audits

  • Claim deductions with confidence

If you’re still using paper logs or spreadsheets, now’s the time to upgrade.

What You Can Do

  • Choose a digital tool: Look for apps that track income, expenses, and receipts.

  • Back up your data: Use cloud storage or external drives

  • Train your team: Make sure everyone knows how to use the system

Final Thoughts

Digital recordkeeping isn’t just about convenience; it’s about compliance. Help your audience make the switch with tutorials, templates, or reviews of tools.
