Xero (@Xero) today launched Xero TaxTouch, its first-ever offering for freelancers. The app was developed specifically for anyone who submits a Schedule C form with their tax filings.
Xero TaxTouch app allows users to automatically download bank and credit card transactions from major U.S. banks and credit cards, and provides an easy way to track business expenses and maximize business tax deductions. With one tap, the app generates a report detailing Schedule C data, making it faster and easier for freelancers and their tax professionals to prepare yearly tax returns.
Jamie Sutherland, Xero's General Manager, gave me and Murph a "first look" at the app recently. Based on what we saw, the app is simple to use and easily allows users to separate business expenses from personal expenses by swiping right for business or left for personal. Xero TaxTouch brings an end to costly surprises by estimating quarterly tax payments and helping to continually track business-related earnings. It also helps freelancers save money by categorizing expenses according to IRS-approved business deductions categories.
Xero TaxTouch is priced at $5.99/month, or $29.99 for the first year and will be available for download on iOS from the App Store on March 8, 2016.
