Question 1

Are these bookkeeping tools free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. No account, no login, no credit card required. Your data stays in your browser — nothing is stored on a server. I built these tools because small business owners deserve a way to track their own books without buying software they do not need.

Question 2

What does the Schedule C tracker do?

Accepted Answer

It helps sole proprietors and single-member LLCs organize business income and expenses into the correct IRS Schedule C categories — advertising, car and truck expenses, contract labor, insurance, office expenses, supplies, and more. It calculates running totals by category and produces a summary that aligns directly with how your return will be filed.

Question 3

Is there a tracker for rental properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Schedule E Rental Property Tracker covers mortgage interest, repairs, depreciation, property taxes, insurance, and management fees across multiple properties. It categorizes each expense by IRS Schedule E line item so your return is easy to prepare.

Question 4

Do I still need a CPA if I use these tools?

Accepted Answer

The tools are for people who want to do their own bookkeeping, but tax preparation is often worth a CPA regardless — especially for business returns, multi-state filings, or S-Corp situations. These tools keep your records clean so a CPA (me or anyone else) can file accurately and efficiently.
