Our story

Behind Keeper is a small team with a big vision: to help more Americans access the tax breaks they deserve.

Every year, around 40 million Americans overpay on their taxes by an average of $1,249. We call this phenomenon The Freelance Tax Tragedy, and Keeper exists to put an end to it.

To do this, we’ve redesigned tax filing software from the ground up around personalization, intelligence, and impeccable user experience. Our automatic write-off identification technology allows people to simply connect a financial account, wait 45 seconds, and watch as hundreds of dollars get added to their tax refunds.

By redesigning tax software from the ground up, we have the tools to give The Freelance Tax Tragedy a happy ending — one where 40 million Americans can sleep soundly and even flourish in today's economy, knowing more of their hard-earned money is theirs to keep.

Our promises

We exist to serve our customers, and uphold the following promises.

We'll make your taxes feel magical.
It's a big claim, and we mean it. Keeper is unlike any tax software you've used before. From uncovering easy-to-miss tax breaks automatically, to our audit protection systems that assess hundreds of variables for audit risks, to pulling in a human tax expert when needed.
Come as you are.
No receipts? No problem. Didn’t track miles? No worries. Haven't heard of Accrual Accounting? Why would you. Come as you are and Keeper will take care of your taxes. When your taxes get tricky, we’ll be there to explain things. We’ll tell you exactly what is being asked and why. If you ever have a followup question, one of our tax experts is just a message away.
We’ll be upfront.
Our prices are transparent, and there are no hidden upsells. We only make money when customers choose to subscribe (not via advertising 3rd party services to you, or by reselling data).

Great way to keep track of expenses. I wish I could've selected more than one bank account to filter at a time instead of going back and marking each one separately. But ultimately an easyish experience :)

This was super simple and I love that you track my deductions throughout the year. I should have done this sooner.

I've used Keeper Tax for the past few years, and this year was the best experience yet. Keeper continues to amaze me with how seamless, straightforward, and stress-free it can actually be to prepare and file my taxes. I was worried that my situation would be too complicated or tricky for Keeper to handle - but I was wrong. (Lesson: set aside your tax woes, Keeper simplifies it). Another year, another "keeper saves the day!" (Again)

Made filing taxes an absolute breeze! Keeper did all the heavy lifting and made my tax filing process as easy as ever for a self-employed business owner. I was able to maximize my deductions and trust that everything was done correctly. Will be using this service yearly moving forward!

Keeper its great, it has a great AI chatbot to help out with deductions, lots of articles, and also REAL PEOPLE that will take either your message or request once elevated in seconds!! Also their algorithm for deductions is quite good and simple, and once your deductions are finalized and you scanned all your tax forms, A REAL TAX PROFESSIONAL will go thru your taxes and give you feedback and alerts.

This app makes tracking expenses so easy and when you have to review for tax purposes, the process couldn't be any easier.

The easiest way to file taxes with a 1099!!! The app tracks your spending throughout the year, so when it comes to tax time, you have the majority of your deductions already pulled, along with items that might be deducted. I've used Keeper for three years in a row, and each year, I'm grateful for how easy they make things.

Quick & easy to do with quick results. Lovely bonus of getting a federal refund when expected to owe.

This is the first time I have utilized this software and service. Very intuitive, easy to use, and highly comprehensive. My only complaint is what I owed vs. what Keeper said I owed was drastically different, even with its estimating tool. Excellent product and I will better utilize it for this year's taxes. Very efficient turn-around on review of taxes, too. KUDOS!
