What was the total money received from customers during the year. That is "annual gross receipts".

It's scary that you don't know that - and you are in business.

You are aware that there are tax returns due in a couple of weeks.....March

15th for corporations, and April 15th for the self-employed and partnerships.

Please - find a local CPA or EA to help you.
