My CPA doesn't due my taxes until after the year is over.

So I talked to him and he wants to charge me $700 to do 10 months of taxes.

I can't do that right now with the down payment and some changes I want to do to the house.

So my question is there somewhere online I can do this myself? Just print out a P&L statement

Thanks

No problem. If you want some more advice, a CPA that would charge you $700 for a P&L statement needs to be a former CPA this time next year.

the lender should take a profit and loss from you. dont overthink the document its just a paragraph that needs to state how much you have made so far this year and what your loss's may or maynot be. it pretty common to have one of those when closing a home loan and your self employed.

How many transactions do you have on a monthly basis?

You have no idea how much activity the business has. $700 could be a real good deal or really expensive. No way of knowing from the facts provided.

I would look into what they really want with the statement. Like previously stated, I think you will over think it.

That's right. He doesn't due them. He will do them though.

Whether he's overcharging or not, if you can't swing a mere 700 bucks you should rethink this investment.
