Keeper
Keeper combines bookkeeping and tax filing for contractors, sole proprietors, people with complex individual tax situations, S-Corps, and partnerships. It scans linked account transactions for potential deductions, which users can review, supplement with receipt photos, and organize with rules. Keeper offers federal and state returns and says a tax professional reviews and signs every filed return. A 24/7 AI tax assistant is available, while Premium includes one-on-one tax pro consultations. Standard costs $199/yr and includes 10 financial accounts; Premium costs $399/yr, and Business costs $1,199/yr. Bookkeeping Only costs $20/mo and tracks expenses but does not include tax filing. The 14-day trial does not allow deduction exports or submitting a return for IRS filing. Keeper connects accounts through Plaid and says it cannot access bank login information. Apps are available for Android, iOS, and web.
