Pulling together all the paperwork and reconciling your accounts is not very much fun (although we think it is). There’s an old axiom that asks: how do you eat an elephant? The answer? One bite at a time. This is the time of year when it’s very helpful to remember that, so here are a few tax-related reminders that should help:

• Review and send employees their W-2 forms and send 1099 forms to contractors.
• File annual federal unemployment tax return 940
• Reconcile bank accounts and other financial statements.
• Track down any IRS notices you received for the prior year
• Look for your 1099-K forms
• Make sure your inventory records are accurate • Review loan documents
