Organize rental expenses for accountant handoff

Intended outcome

Give your accountant traceable records without treating application categories as tax conclusions.

Prerequisites

Ask which year, properties, accounting basis, format, and evidence are needed. Gather invoices, receipts, statements, and notes.

Steps

1. Verify every expense's property, dates, amount, description, and payment state against evidence.
2. Standardize vendor names and use categories consistently.
3. Flag uncertain classification instead of guessing.
4. Identify items needing allocation, capital-versus-current review, or other professional judgment.
5. Run the requested report and reconcile its total with the reviewed worklist.
6. If requested, generate the T776 working paper and preserve all warnings.
7. Deliver exports, evidence, reconciliation notes, and unresolved questions together.

Expected result

The accountant can trace totals and identify judgment items quickly.

Common problems

• Assuming a category proves deductibility.
• Mixing personal and rental activity without an allocation note.
• Sending exports without evidence or warnings.

Product boundaries

This workflow organizes information; it does not decide accounting basis, deductibility, allocation, or filing position.
