Frequently asked questions
- What is the best expense tracker for 1099 contractors?
- Receipto is designed for 1099 contractors and independent workers. It automatically scans and categorizes receipts for common contractor deductions (home office, tools and equipment, software subscriptions, professional services, travel, meals). Export a complete expense report to CSV or Excel at year-end for your accountant or tax software.
- What business expenses can contractors deduct?
- Common deductible expenses for 1099 contractors include: home office, tools and equipment, software and subscriptions, professional development and education, travel and transportation, client meals (50% deductible), professional services (legal, accounting), health insurance premiums, and retirement contributions. Receipto helps you track and categorize all of these.
- How do I organize receipts by client or project as a contractor?
- Create a folder for each client or project in Receipto (e.g., 'Client: Acme Corp', 'Project: Website Redesign'). Assign each receipt to the appropriate folder when scanning. At billing or tax time, filter and export just the receipts for one client. Tags can add additional context like 'reimbursable' or 'non-billable'.
- Can I use Receipto with my accountant or tax software?
- Yes. Receipto exports to CSV (compatible with QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, TurboTax, and H&R Block), Excel, and PDF. The export includes merchant, date, total, tax, category, currency, and any notes — everything your accountant or tax software needs. No manual data re-entry required.
