About the tax deduction tracker

Keeping a running log of expenses throughout the year makes tax preparation far less stressful than reconstructing receipts from memory in April. This tool totals your entries by category and shows each category's share of your overall spending, sorted from highest to lowest, so you can see at a glance where most of your potential deductions come from.

Not tax advice

This is a personal record-keeping tool only. Always confirm actual deductibility with a qualified tax professional.

Pick Other and type your own label when an expense doesn't fit the six built-in categories.

Year-by-year view

The year selector filters both your total and category breakdown, so multi-year history stays organized.

Tax deduction tracker FAQ

Quick answers about logging expenses and reading your breakdown.

Is this tax deduction tracker tax advice?

No. This tool is only for personal record-keeping. It does not determine whether an expense is actually deductible — always confirm deductibility with a qualified tax professional before filing.

How is the category breakdown calculated?

The tracker totals every logged expense in the selected year for each category, then sorts categories from highest to lowest total and shows each one's share of your overall spending.

Can I filter my deductions by year?

Yes. Use the year selector to view totals and category breakdowns for any year that has logged expenses, which is useful when preparing a specific tax year's records.

Where is my expense data stored?

All entries stay in your browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is uploaded to a server or account, and clearing your browser data will remove your history.
