The INCOME database provides a means of entering
all of your income records. It is easy to pay the
correct taxes and understand business income to
expense when the income and expense databases are
kept current.

To insure correct record keeping you fill the
gross income (total amount including tax charged
and non-taxed labor) charged the client. If
non-taxed amount, like labor, is included in the
total gross amount it will not be taxed. 
Automatically calculated is the state tax and city
tax. This calculated tax creates accurate business
tax records and reports. Total sale is the gross
income minus calculated tax minus labor (or other
non-taxed items).

The INCOME DATABASE reminds you to assign a CUSNO
(customer number) to each transaction (A copy of
the customer's numbered receipt is paramount to
good record keeping.)

The JOB DATE and JOB TYPE are pulled in from the
CUSTOMER DATABASE, but can be changed.

A receipt transaction date is required as is the
receipt number. No monies in business should be
received without a receipt being made out. Each
receipt must have a number assigned to it and that
must be entered.

A description of the income can be done in two
ways.  You can type in any income description you
want by the Description.  You may enter in the
Description Modifier fields A, B, C, and D a zero
"0" or a one "1" after putting a yes "Y" after the
Description Modifiers Edit field.  The reason for
the modifier fields is to allow you to keep track
of items you assign to A, B, C, and D.  For
instance, maybe you want to know if a client
bought a picture frame.  You could assign "A" as
the picture frame bucket.  If one or more was
purchased you would put a "1" in the "A" field. 
Maybe "B" is for a certain print finish.  A one
"1" in the "B" field would designate that finish
had been selected.  In addition, you can have the
A, B, C, D fields designated for different things
dependent on JOB TYPE.  This information is used
to create income reports that tell you information
about your business.
 
Gross income is used to calculate the tax that
should have been paid and the net or total sale
amount, before taxes that should have been charged
(based on tax code).

Many reports can be generated to give you a view
of your business and tax responsibility.  ALL
records in the income database, even if marked for
DELetion, are used for ALL tax and income reports. 
Some special reports such as Income by ZIP will
not use marked for DELetion records.
