Reimburesed expenses for Small Business LLC - ignore or record as revenue?


We own a multiple owner LLC that does consulting and we received several payments that included both earned revenues as well as expense reimbursements from clients. What should I record as revenues? I of course sent all the receipts of the expenses to the clients, so I do not have records of those any more. I appreciate your input on this.

ALL receipts go on the Gross Receipts line. Any expenses are listed on the appropriate lines. There's no such thing as "reimbursed expenses" on a business tax return.

Get the receipts back from your clientele! Provide them with COPIES of receipts if that's what your contractual obligations require but keep the originals for yourself as you cannot deduct the expenses without proof.

You're welcome. TFTP. Report It

A reimbursed expense is not income/revenue.

It is merely the return of money that you put out. So it is neither revenue, nor an expense.

It's an equal "money in - money out"...equals zero. So you reported the expense in the "books", when you report the reimbursement, it zeros out.

Always keep copies of the receipts for audit.

If it's a 1 to 1 reimbursement of expenses you incurred on behalf of a client, offset expenses. I
