Start now for next year. It's *simple* to do this, and a lot easier than going through receipts after a year.
Get one of those expandable folders at Wal-Mart.
Label them Jan-Dec.
When you buy content, traffic, etc - anything - put the receipt in that month's slot.
When you get a check, paypal payment (print it out), etc - put the stub/printout in that month's slot.

When you get your forms from the sponsors next year (assuming you made more than $600 from each of them), take those and the folder to your accountant (or the HR Block tax guy, hehe). Or just sit down with coffee and a calculator and do it yourself.

It takes 2 seconds to put it into a folder.
It takes 2 weeks to find it a year later if you didn't put it in the folder.
