Minute Menu & Start Up Expenses

[Unregistered]

I just opened my daycare at the beginning of January. I had purchased lots of equipment, toys and supplies at the end of last year. I know from prior threads that these will go on my taxes for next year since my business didn't begin until this year. When I am entering these into Minute Menu, will I use the actual date of purchase as expense date or the first date of my business?

Put the first date of your business, so MM will properly record it as a 2015 expense.
