What's the best way to declare your Google ads/advertising cost for your taxes?  

Answer 1

On your schedule C, you put the amount you spent in the Advertising Line box.

I'm in Canada, but that's basically what I've done for 2019. I was just wondering if Google Ads had a tool that would give you your yearly amounts without having to use the from/to dates on every campaign and sum it up.

@bischoff6 if they charge your credit card for payments, just look at your 2019 credit card statements for their charges and add them up

@bartolome1404 Yeah I did that and checked against Google Ads to make sure it added up. Unfortunately every transaction from Google Ads shows up with a different name which makes it a bit of a drag

@bischoff6 i just go by my credit card statements

@bartolome1404 Ok thank you
