Overview
Keeper Tax, Inc., based in San Francisco, sells an app that tracks expenses and deductions throughout the year and then files the owner’s return, with each return reviewed and signed by a tax professional[3]. It targets freelancers and contractors, solo business owners, and S corporations and partnerships[3].
Bookkeeping features common to all plans include automatic expense tracking, AI categorisation of deductions, unlimited bank and card connections, income tracking and mileage tracking[3]. The Standard plan, at US$199 a year, adds a federal return and up to two state returns. Premium, at US$399 a year, adds audit protection, three or more state returns, rentals, K-1s and investments, quarterly tax payments, meetings with a tax professional, amendments and late filing up to five years back. Business, at US$1,199 a year, adds a year-end book review and close plus S corporation (Form 1120-S) and partnership (Form 1065) filing[3]. A Bookkeeping Only plan is US$20 a month, and every plan has a 14-day free trial[3].
Keeper’s model combines bookkeeping and filing in a subscription, which is good value for a sole proprietor who would otherwise buy both. It does not prepare C corporation returns, and owners with employees still need payroll software.
