We are filing our 1065 on cash basis and as I understand it, we deduct credit card expenses based on the year they are charged, not the year they are paid. My question is, since we incur expenses in Dec 2006 that we didn't pay till Jan 2007, do we now have an account payable in our balance sheet (schedule L) for the 2006 tax return? Would this be a problem given that we are filing on cash basis? Does this raise a flag with the IRS? TurboTax warns that it is unusual for cash-basis filing to have any accounts payable. Thank you much.
