Project #1
Project #1 needs to be completed on the Excel file.You need to prepare the 2020 reconciliation etc…. separate from the 20201 reconciliation. Think about preparing your tax return each year. You prepare each year separately. In the real world you would not have the information for 2021 while preparing the 2020 Financial Statement and Tax Return. DO NOT make adjustments to the worksheet provided unless you need to add an additional row (which is not necessary 🙂
