Love this product. Very warm feeling getting the "coffee is on the way!" Email every few weeks :)

Scratch that - how do I message you? I don't see an email on your account

Well, we wanted to start with something that directly and clearly puts money in your pocket. Tax write offs are a good one for that - we feel like too many people donate to the IRS. When it comes to financial advising, there's a lot we

Fantastic. Sending you an email now.

Great question! Yes :) https://blog.keepertax.com/posts/paper-receipts-are-required...

Us too!

by pkoullick92 8y ago
Woohoo! Yeah part of our ethos is to make taxes easier to understand for everyone so we put effort into our content. We do list out tax write offs for different types of contracting work on the blog as well, but we don't go very deep i

There's only one way to find out ;)

I Love it! That's great. Even better :)

Correct. We use Plaid to get access to people purchase history and to charge our monthly fee.

Great question! Lots of components here. In short our stance is that 99% of contractors should itemize at least some of their expense write offs. What about the standard deduction? https://blog.keepertax.com/posts/shoul

Word. That sounds right. One of the challenges we've been up against is just figuring where these contractors are actually spending their time. Thanks for the tip.

by pkoullick92 8y ago
Actually, yes. We offer it as a pilot for folks who really want it and are willing to put up with some bugs :) Just text your bookkeeper "HN 2018 tax prep" and we'll set it up for you. It takes 1-2 weeks.

Thank you! Repro'd the localStorage debugging and you're right - we'll clean that up. Thanks for sharing your story re: 8k on 30k - that's pretty bad :) either you claimed next to nothing in write offs, or you were in a

You're right. Hacker News, go and lock in your sweet time-limited doorbuster 50% discount BEFORE we go and update our prices to $20 per month! :)

Good question! We'd love to do that if there was an easy way to. It would actually just be a portion of all savings due to write offs recorded with Keeper. Savings are calculated using your actual effective tax rate, and other necessar

To some extent, yes - the customer is always going to be on the hook for telling the truth. For example, we can ask: did you go out to that dinner with a client or coworker? The customer could lie and say yes, in order to claim more write o

Thank you for the feedback! We agree. Need to get some semi-professional headshots and approval from our on-staff CPA first, but it's on the shortlist. I'm curious, why the hard stance on granting purchase data?
57.
by pkoullick92 8y ago
Yes we do! Our service is based on US tax law, though. It'll still be helpful from an expense tracking / organization standpoint but keep that in mind :)

by pkoullick92 8y ago
Interesting idea! So basically we'd hold the data hostage ;) I'm curious - why is that's a better model, in your mind? We support users if they get audited in the sense that we'd give them all of their data recorded with

by pkoullick92 8y ago
Good question! Yes. Two reasons: (1) we will auto-categorize your business card expenses, and (2) many tax write offs are split personal / work expenses. Examples: gas if you drive your car for both work and personal use, home office e
