  • Multiple jobs and income streams

    Combine self-employment income with W-2 wages and other supported income.

  • Business income and expenses

    Handle rental income, investments, K-1s, and other tax situations.

How it works

Keeper works throughout the year to maximize your tax savings when it's time to file.

  1. 1

    Connect your accounts

    Link unlimited bank and credit card accounts to see your income and expenses together. Keeper automatically scans your expenses for potential business deductions based on how you work.

    Track income and expenses automatically

    Confirm your income, review your business expenses, track your mileage, and see a real-time estimate of what you’ll owe at tax time.
    • See all your income in one place: Bring together payments across accounts, clients, and jobs.
    • Track every expense, however you spend: Connect your accounts, upload bank statements or spreadsheets, scan receipts, or add expenses manually.
    • Track mileage: Log business miles and keep the details organized.
    • Automatically uncover deductions: Keeper learns what you do for work and finds the write-offs that come with it.
