Maker Expense & Mileage Ledger + Reporting | Schedule C Tax Report by Email (Google Sheets)

Form to sheet: log it in-the-moment on a Google Form on your phone, and the entry lands organized in your Google Sheet. No app, no re-typing. That's how every Ledger & Light tool works.

Your business costs, your business miles, and a finished tax report for your accountant — all in one sheet.

A bolt of fabric, a jug of resin, a sheet of vinyl — those are inventory. A Glowforge or heat press is equipment. A booth at the next craft fair is neither. A handmade shop buys in all three directions at once, and the tax form treats each one differently.

Your Expense & Mileage Ledger + Reporting keeps your costs and business miles in one sheet, then hands your accountant a finished report. When tax season arrives, send your Tax Summary, transactions, and mileage log as a formatted PDF — no export steps, no screen captures.

✓ PERFECT FOR:
• Sewists, potters, woodworkers, and anyone who makes what they sell by hand, with the make-cost of each piece in view
• Craft-fair and artisan-show vendors carrying booth charges, canopy, and table rent across a season
• Makers whose week includes a photo shoot, a wholesale drop-off, and a Saturday craft fair, all of it mileage worth deducting
• Makers who work with an accountant and want a formatted tax report sent at tax time

I designed this ledger myself — every category in it started as a question about a handmade shop: where a Glowforge lands on the return, which pile a bolt of fabric belongs in, what a booth charge counts as. I built the sheet around those answers, for how a maker really spends and drives.

Your instruction PDF is available immediately after purchase — no waiting, no shipping.

These tools help you stay organized. I'm not a CPA and nothing here is tax advice — your accountant has the final word.

The spreadsheet system, formulas, and tax categories are my own original design; AI tools assisted with the decorative illustrations.
