How do I close out my business?

Hello, 

Closing a business means that you're obligated to meet certain expectations in regards to keeping records, filing taxes, and securing your financial data. QuickBooks Self-Employed is there to help you keep track of the things you need. I'll help explain the process for you. 

First and foremost, I'd recommend consulting an accountant for help understanding what's involved in closing your business. They'll be able to help you by explaining what you need to save in your records, and what you can dispose of. This is important to ensure you're compliant with government regulations. 

Once you know more about the process, you're able to export the things you need from QuickBooks Self-Employed. If you want to keep a record of the work you did in QuickBooks Self-Employed, download the Tax Details report. This can be found on the Reports page.
