Our story

Behind Keeper is a small team with a big vision: to help more Americans access the tax breaks they deserve.

Every year, around 40 million Americans overpay on their taxes by an average of $1,249. We call this phenomenon The Freelance Tax Tragedy, and Keeper exists to put an end to it.

To do this, we’ve redesigned tax filing software from the ground up around personalization, intelligence, and impeccable user experience. Our automatic write-off identification technology allows people to simply connect a financial account, wait 45 seconds, and watch as hundreds of dollars get added to their tax refunds.

By redesigning tax software from the ground up, we have the tools to give The Freelance Tax Tragedy a happy ending — one where 40 million Americans can sleep soundly and even flourish in today's economy, knowing more of their hard-earned money is theirs to keep.

This was so easy! Also, scheduled a tax call with Sabrina, and she was very informative! I think this will be the best way to file from now on

This is my thrid year filing with Taxkeeper and this year I considered filing for free (because they made it seem so easy and other FREE tax software was offered to me which fit my filing discription) I didnt get very far along in my comparsion between Taxkeeper and the Free filing program before deciding to return to Taxkeeper. Worth every penny of the $49year fee. I mostly appricate the balance of simple design for me as a user/filer, and the answers in their drop down question bubbles. I feel informed every step of the way and recieve prompt and professional responses whenever I reach out.

Keeper has made the entire process of filing taxes less stressful and much more streamlined. It's incredible to know that all year Keeper is tracking all your accounts building your year portfolio & has a team of professionals there to review, assist and guide when needed. Highly recommend the service.

As a college student doing contract work on the side, the high amount of taxes being owed was crazy to me considering how I make next to nothing a year (less than 10k). Keeper is able to help me save hundreds of dollars, and as a broke college student, every dollar matters. Last year when I made more money, Keeper brought my federal tax down from $1,200 to $400. This year it got me from $400 to $0. Even though Keeper costs $200 a year, I'm still saving about half of the money owed in the end and that's what matters to me.

It was the most simple and easy way to file taxes for a W2 and 1099 side hustle musician and it automatically took into account the expenses it usually takes so long to find in bank records.

Easy process start to finish. I was skeptical because most Instagram ads I see don't have the product to back up the ad spend. Highly recommend for any small business owners.

This was so much easier than trying to find all the deductions myself and sorting through a bunch of faded receipts.
