REVISED Business Expense Statement (for Sweezey and Cunningham compliance) Jan 14, 2019 Significantly revised to provide one page of instructions, only 3 pages of useful examples based on actual court decisions which have been rendered since Cunningham/Sweezey, and more room for clients/bookkeepers to fill in the form if they're doing so by hand. The instructions/example and blank form are all now in one document, so that neither part is accidentally forgotten.
