Get your 2025 books ready for the October 15 deadline
Filed an extension for your 2025 individual return? Your filing deadline is Thursday, October 15, 2026. This guide is for self-employed people and small business owners preparing their business records for that return.
Start with one statement free, no card. Review its merchants and see My year before choosing Catch-Up for your 2025 Schedule C style report and handoff to your accountant.
Gather every account for January through December 2025
Collect statements for every bank and credit card account you used for business from January through December 2025, including personal accounts with business activity and accounts you closed. Group them by account and month, then gather the receipts that explain your purchases.
Plan your accountant handoff over the coming days
Start today by uploading your statements or forwarding them to your Arkrel email-in address. Use the next days to review merchants with your business context. Rules remember your choices, and My year brings the reviewed activity together.
For a paid 2025 year, open the Schedule C style report and send your accountant a read-only share link or accountant exports. Choose CSV, accountant CSV, PDF, QuickBooks, Xero or OFX. Agree a handoff date with your accountant and set aside time for their questions before October 15.
Catch-Up: $599 one time for your 2025 tax year
Catch-Up costs $599 one time per tax year for one business. It includes up to 3,000 pages of statements and receipts, merchant review with rules that remember, My year, a Schedule C style report, accountant exports and a read-only share link for your accountant. A 30-day money-back guarantee is included.
Questions about getting ready for October 15
Can I get my books done before October 15?
Start with the statements you have today. Gather the full January through December 2025 set, upload or forward it, then review merchants. Plan the review around the number of accounts and questions in your records, and agree a handoff date with your accountant. The Schedule C style report is available for a paid year; Catch-Up for 2025 is $599.
What if my accountant files my return?
Prepare the 2025 records in Arkrel, review merchants and share the Schedule C style report with your accountant. Catch-Up includes a read-only share link and accountant exports so your accountant can use the records in their filing workflow.
What if I have two businesses?
Keep each business separate. Catch-Up covers one business for one tax year, so each business needs its own $599 Catch-Up purchase for 2025.
What does the free statement show?
Free includes one statement, merchant review with rules that remember, and a preview in My year. No card is needed. Choose Catch-Up for the paid year’s Schedule C style report, exports and read-only share link for your accountant.
