- Use a professional to reduce risk of mistakes and to represent you if something goes wrong.
- Organize receipts by month in an accordion binder.
- Services like Shoeboxed.com digitize receipts for you to store online. Can also take photos with your iPhone and email to your Evernote.com account. Another option is PaperPort.
- Don’t forget to track your mileage for business or job hunting.
- Keeping organized throughout the year with software like Quicken or Quickbooks will help you to easily run reports for tax preparation.
