Greetings, three questions:
[1] If I'm accepting payments through a processor like Stripe, say someone pays an invoice on 2016-01-01 and that's the date Stripe receives it, but then the money is transferred to my bank account on 2016-01-03, what is the date of income I should log for accounting/tax return purposes?
[2] If a payment processor like PayPal or Stripe charges 3% commission, and I bill someone $100 via the payment processor, but only end up getting $97 in my checking account, should I log $100 or $97 as income for accounting/tax return purposes?
[3] If logging $100 as income, am I allowed to deduct the $3 as an expense?
Thanks in advance!
