I use QBSE. We are going to be applying for a mortgage next year or the year after and I'm trying to show as much income as possible for the next 2 years. Can I defer some expenses to another year so I can show more income? Like my mileage? So far this year I have over $8300 in mileage deductions (I'm a pet sitter and drive all day). If I don't take this deduction for mileage my income will be higher, but will I lose the ability to deduct this later? Thanks!
