Began business in October 2010. Have yet to pay any tax but obviously the time has come to empty my pockets. I've all receipts/expenses recorded, it's only the small matter of figuring out the final figure now.
October 2010 - December 2010 = loss
January 2011 - December 2011 = profit
January 2012 - October 2012 = profit
Is it okay to deduct the net loss from 2010 from the net profit figure in 2011? Do I need to file a return for 2012 or can I just pay 2010/2011?
Thank you.
