Accounting, Payroll & Pension Issues/transfer funds to next year

Question
Hi Ed,

Sub S company.  Next fiscal year will be very low on income.  In fact, may not be any after 15 successful years.  Can we transfer dollars into next fiscal year to use for business expenses as new business is cultivated?  If so, how.  Use QuickBooks Pro.

Thanks.

Answer
I don't understand your problem.

The company is failing to show a profit due to low sales, probably to show a net operating loss. That means you won't have a dividend to distribute and pay taxes on.

This shouidn't impact your cash on hand and develop new business.

Good luck.
