Hello Everyone,
I have a problem I've been trying to figure out for a week now; i'm sure there is an easy answer but i just can't see it.
Background:
We a small company that keeps financials in the accrual method. But for our tax return, we file on the cash basis.
Problem:
I normally convert the accrual financials to cash basis by reversing out end of year balances in our payables/accruals accounts.
This of course affects net income and what rolls into retained earnings.
Assuming I did this for the year 2018, and now I have to do it for 2019, how do I factor in the cash/accrual adjustments made in 2018 for 2019 so that the retained earnings in my balance sheet properly rolls forward on the cash basis?
I'm sure there is a simple answer but I just can't see it....
Thanks in advance
