One of the most dreaded times of the year is tax season, but modern technology and applications can make your life a whole lot easier. From tax apps that can help aggregate your tax information to those that can file taxes and monitor refunds, these can save you a lot of time, stress, and even money.
Collecting Tax Documents
1. Evernote – this easy to use program allows you to set up different categories for income, expenditures, and even has a spot for scanned receipts. Aggregating all of your information with this program can do wonders when it comes time to file taxes. Just plug and play!
2. Expensify – this app is particularly good for business expenditure accounts that are tax deductible, such as car and gas mileage, food, and other expenses.
Filing Tax Documents
