Everything it does, and what it leaves alone

Capture

1. Tap the blue square and point the camera at the receipt. A screenshot of an emailed one works too.
2. The merchant, amount, category and card fill themselves in. A hollow dot marks the one field worth a second look.
3. Save, and the year's figure moves by what that receipt puts back.

It files each expense under its Schedule C line and prices it at your rate before you’ve pressed Save. A second copy of the same receipt asks before it saves twice.

A medical bill for your HSA goes in the same way, and one field on the sheet says where each receipt belongs. On a laptop, drop a receipt anywhere on the page or paste it in.

The part that logs itself

Some deductions never come with a receipt. Tell Reimburse once what share of your phone and internet is business and how big your office is, and it writes them in on the first of every month.

Trips go in by the mile, at 72.5¢ before July 1 and 76¢ after, because the IRS raised the rate mid-year. Each trip keeps the rate of the day you drove, and places you go often are one tap.

HSA receipts, kept until you want the money

Pay a medical bill yourself and leave the money invested in your HSA. Reimburse keeps the receipt, who it was for and what the care was, and adds it to what is waiting. There is no deadline: take it out tax-free this year or in twenty, and mark each receipt taken out so none is used twice.

Home office, both ways

The IRS allows two methods. The simplified one is $5 a square foot, up to 300. The actual one is your office’s share of rent, utilities and insurance. Reimburse works out both from the same few numbers and shows them side by side, so you can take the larger.

What you may be missing

Some of the largest savings never come with a receipt. From what you’ve told it, Reimburse lists what fits you and isn’t done yet, each with what it is worth and a few short questions to be sure.

It says what to do, and the free calculators work out how much. It never moves money for you.

Deadlines, before they’re due

Estimated taxes, 1099s for contractors and the return itself, on the dates that apply to your kind of business. Each one shows what you’d owe at your current pace, and a reminder arrives by email and on your phone 14 days and 2 days before.

A packet your CPA can use

Every category in Reimburse is a line on Schedule C, so the year arrives already sorted. At tax time, download one packet: a PDF summary by line, a spreadsheet of every expense, and every receipt photo, named and dated.

Meals without a guest and trips without a reason get a gentle note in the ledger, so the year is audit ready before anyone asks.
