Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to keep paper receipts for taxes?
The IRS accepts digital copies of receipts as valid documentation. A clear photo or scan is just as good as the original paper. The key is having a record that shows the amount, date, vendor, and business purpose.
How long should I keep business receipts?
The IRS generally recommends keeping receipts for 3 years from the date you file the return. If you underreport income by more than 25%, keep them for 6 years. Some advisors recommend 7 years to be safe.
What expenses can I deduct as a small business?
Common deductible expenses include office supplies, software subscriptions, business meals (50%), travel, vehicle use, home office costs, professional services, and marketing. The expense must be ordinary and necessary for your business.
Is this receipt scanner secure?
Yes. All processing happens in your browser — your receipt images and data are never sent to our servers. When you close the tab, the data is gone unless you've exported it.
