Where can I find info on typical ratios for bar income - cash, credit card and checks?

Probably a hospitality professional organization. Or, the IRS's Audit Technique Guide for that industry or for Cash Intensive Businesses. Or, the appropriate Market Segment Specialization Program, such as https://www.unclefed.com/SurviveIRS/..._atg_final.pdfComment

Well, I was somewhat na?ve. Since 20 years I am doing the books for a real small bar and I thought we had the understanding that he deposits all of his income and writes checks for all expenses. While the later is probably true, he never deposited cash, only checks and credit card receipts. Became obvious since he issues two checks to the gaming co. in high amounts. Thing is that the income reported goes by his bank deposits. I just tried to get a better feel for how much cash was skimmed. I am certain he still would not have any taxable income from his bar with the current standard deduction but only SE income. I feel so stupid and of course, I fired him.Comment

Yeah, I've learned to ask clients EVERY year if there is any other income not deposited into the bank or on a 1099. Often I ask it via email so I have a written response from them.
But you fired him, so try to get it off your mind. :-)

The funny thing is that I do that with my questionnaire but I could swear that he would have said "no" since in his mind the cash on hand is mainly used for poker payouts, just not that much. When I asked him yesterday how much cash he has set aside for these payouts (other than what is in the till or should be in the till) he opened his vest and showed me 3 stacks of $20ties in different place amounting to $3,000. I almost felt like I was in a movie.Comment
