How it works

Upload once, get a clean deduction list

Designed for freelancers and self-employed people who file Schedule C.

1

Upload a business statement

Any bank or card statement — PDF, JPG, or PNG. Optionally tell us what you do so the AI can weight for your business type.

2

AI classifies every charge

Each transaction gets labeled deductible, mixed, personal, income, or transfer. Mixed charges get a business-use percentage.

3

See deductions by category

Total estimated deductions, broken down by Schedule C category, with a searchable list showing the AI's reasoning per charge.

Deductions the AI catches

Every freelancer write-off, surfaced automatically

Tuned to reflect IRS Schedule C categories, with conservative defaults on anything personal-adjacent.

1

SaaS and software subscriptions

Figma, Notion, GitHub, Adobe, AWS, Zoom, Canva — the stack most freelancers use. Flagged as Software & subscriptions.

2

Home office costs

Rent and utilities get a mixed-use label with a reasonable business-use % if your home office qualifies under IRS rules.

3

Internet and phone

Your internet bill and phone bill are typical mixed-use charges. Flagged with a default business-use % you can adjust mentally.

4

Business meals (50% rule)

Client lunches, coffee meetings, conference catering — flagged at the IRS 50% limit in the reason field.

5

Contractor and professional payments

Payments to subcontractors, accountants, lawyers, and designers. You'll want to 1099 contractors over $600 — the tool flags these so you have a list.

6

Health insurance and retirement

Self-employed health insurance premiums and Solo 401(k) / SEP IRA contributions — both above-the-line deductions the AI catches.

7

Advertising and marketing

Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Instagram Ads, podcast sponsorships. Fully deductible as advertising.

8

Travel and transit

Flights, hotels, rideshare labeled with clear work context, tolls, parking at client sites. Pure commuting is explicitly personal.

What gets marked personal

The AI is conservative by default

Better to miss a small deduction than to recommend a personal expense as a write-off. You can always flag more items with your accountant.

Groceries and household shopping
Personal streaming and entertainment (Netflix, Spotify, gaming)
Personal Amazon / Target / Walmart runs
Personal rideshare and food delivery
Normal rent unless claiming home office
Personal commuting to a regular workplace
Not tax advice

Use this as a starting list, not a filing

AI classifications are a fast way to see what's probably deductible on your Schedule C, but they're not a substitute for a CPA or enrolled agent. The IRS expects you to be able to justify each deduction — especially mixed-use percentages, home-office claims, and vehicle expenses.

Print the results, discuss them with a tax pro, and use them as the checklist for your books. That workflow is the whole point of the tool.

More than just categories

Real financial clarity from your bank statement.
