Tax Deduction Organizer Excel Expense Tracker & Self-Employed Checklist, Digital Download

Shoebox full of receipts, and tax season is creeping up with no clear picture of what you spent and where? This organizer keeps every business expense in one place so you walk into tax season with a clear overview, before you file your return or meet with a tax professional.

What's included in the file:- 'Expense Log' tab — a running list of every expense with an automatically assigned expense number, date, category (dropdown), description, amount, and payment method. Room for up to 300 expenses.- 'Deduction Checklist' tab — 12 common categories for freelancers and self-employed filers (including Home Office, Mileage & Vehicle Use, Business Supplies, Software & Subscriptions, Health Insurance Premiums, and Charitable Donations) with a short note per category, a "Receipts on hand?" status flag, and its own notes field.- 'Annual Summary' tab — the total and percentage share per category are calculated automatically from the Expense Log, including a grand total and a distribution bar.- 'Instructions' tab — a quick-start guide to all three tabs.

Works in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc. Only the colored input cells are meant to be filled in — every other cell (including all formulas) is protected so nothing breaks by accident.
