All RamseyTrusted Pros are vetted and are proven advocates for Ramsey's financial and business values. While credibility and trust are hard to find, they're just as hard to prove. Being trusted by Ramsey means that not only have these traits been showcased and proven, but they're also trusted to be shared and help the community involved.

As a RamseyTrusted pro, I am required to maintain our standards through assessments and feedback from those I have helped. Our goal is to help those in need of services and to be open and transparent about your financial journey.

Year in and Year Out

As your RamseyTrusted Pro, I’m here year-round to make sure you always have someone you can rely on. My strength lies in staying proactive and helping you navigate every season with clarity and confidence. Whether it’s answering questions, keeping you aligned with the latest standards, or providing step-by-step guides, my goal is to simplify the process so you can focus on what matters most.

I believe in building long-term trust through consistent communication and organization. That’s why we’ll connect at key checkpoints throughout the year—not only to review progress but also to anticipate what’s ahead and position you for success.

TAX CHECKLIST

HOW YOUR TAX FILING WORKS

During the past year, did you take home $400 or more in self-employment income from any one source? (By "take home,"we mean your income minus your business expenses.) If so, give yourself a pat on the back. And now for the fun part: You get to file a federal tax return! Here's how it works:

Business Income and Expenses
You'll report your business income and expenses on your personal tax return, using Schedule C (in addition to your basic 1040 tax form).

Business Structure
Depending on your business structure (if you have one in place), you'll also file other tax forms. How do you make sure you file the right tax forms? Easy. It's done for you when you use Ramsey SmartTax or a RamseyTrusted tax pro.

BASIC INFORMATION

To make your tax filing as smooth as possible, gather the records you'll need ahead of time. These basics are a good place to start:

  • Income Records
    All income, including anything reported on 1099 forms
  • Estimated Tax Payments
    All paperwork related to tax payments made during the year
  • General Ledger
    Every business expense you plan to deduct (see page 2 for common expenses)
