Since I'm on a fiscal year from July 1 - June 30 set by the CA State Equalization Dept, does that affect when I file my Schedule C with the IRS? Or do I close the books quarterly or monthly or what? I'm having the hardest time thinking with the fiscal year.

•Type of business. A sole proprietorship, or a business that is taxed as a sole proprietorship (single-member LLC, for example) must use a December 31 fiscal year-end to match the personal tax year end.

If you file your first tax return using the calendar tax year and you later begin business as a sole proprietor, become a partner in a partnership, or become a shareholder in an S corporation, you must continue to use the calendar year unless you get IRS approval to change it or are otherwise allowed to change it without IRS approval.
