All my other clients that have inventory and use QB's are accrual basis for book and tax. This LLC is cash basis for tax.
2018 is first year they used an accounting system.
This is small ( 300k sales) brew pub which up thru 2018 outsourced their beer production. (starting 2019 they'll produce their own beer)
I'm thinking the beginning and ending inventories have to be cash basis. But QB can't keep both accrual and cash basis inventory even in total. So make sure QB accrual basis inventory is accurate/adjusted to physical accrual basis.
Use QB cash basis ending numbers and then adjust ending inventory to cash basis. Might need a book to tax item also?
