STOP CARRYING TWO APPS FOR MILES AND RECEIPTS Our mileage customers ask us the same question: "Wait, does your mileage tracker do my receipts too?" It does. You get UNLIMITED mileage tracking starting at $9/mo AND receipt capture/extraction too. And did you know we're the only receipt app that still scans paper receipts? True. AUTOMATIC, UNLIMITED MILEAGE TRACKING Your phone tracks every business trip in the background. Every evening, we text you a summary: your trips, your miles, your potential deductions. Text back which ones were for work. That's it. No buttons, no screens, no remembering to start tracking. At the current IRS rate of $0.76/mile, 12,000 business miles means $9,120 in deductions. DIGITAL RECEIPTS MADE EASY Photograph any business receipt, our app reads it and extracts the key fields in seconds. Have receipts in email? Just forward them to receipts@shoeboxed.com and they land in your account. Gmail user? Install our Gmail plugin and we read them automatically. We grab the fields the IRS requires: vendor, amount, date, and category. You get every receipt stored, organized, and searchable, ready for tax time or your accountant. PAPER RECEIPTS If you have a pile of paper receipts, just tap the Magic Envelopes icon in the app and: - We mail you a prepaid envelope - You stuff it with paper receipts and drop it in the mail - Real people in Durham, NC scan every receipt into your account SELF-EMPLOYED?
