2024 Books messed up 2025 Books
I'll try to be as brief as possible. In 2024 I had 1 STR, and in 2025 I acquired my 2nd. My bookkeeper royally screwed up the books in 2024 mainly by putting almost all of my launch expenses into assets as opposed to expensing them. My 2024 taxes were filed with incorrect books and my refund has been withheld this entire time. I caught this mistake in 2025 and have since corrected almost all of the expenses, but the balance sheet is extremely messy and confusing to me. Currently using Incite Tax (NEVER EVER use them), but have signed up for Tax 365. I please need advice on two fronts: 1) I'm worried 2024 books are messing up the 2025 filing. How should I go about filing 2025, should it be standalone, and then re-submit 2024 after my refund has landed, or should I fix 2024, re-submit and file 2025 based on the fixed 2024 books? 2) My existing bookkeeper wants to charge $3,000 to clean up all of 2025 despite the vast majority being corrected by me. Chart of Accounts, categorizing and classes and almost all expenses are correct, but the balance sheet confuses me. I can't keep throwing money at this problem, can anyone advise the best course forward here? Thank you,

@David Orr I appreciate the time you took to write this David, thank you. Yes I've been categorizing expenses and reviewing my personal finances for almost a decade with Mint and then Monarch. Quickbooks is god-awful software, and I've been pointed to Baselane a few times so I need to do a demo and make the transition. 100% of the expenses incurred before the property was placed into service are individually less than $2,500 and would not be depreciated at all, so my understanding is they would all be expenses instead of assets
