How are you keeping your receipts organized?

Google Drive.

 

Google Drive, set up all of the folders you need and it's free.

 

I know..i do it the old way. Different envelope for every month. Draw straight lines across and write down every deduction for that month and put receipt inside. Only a 1 truck operation.

 

I do it that way too. It worked fine in my construction business but it was an envelope per job, now it's one per month for the truck.

At some point things need to be added up and where I used to use a calculator these days I use a simple spreadsheet to get the totals.

OP asked about the cloud and a cloud answer he got.

 

I never did trust the cloud services. I have a usb hard drive that i only use for my finances. Got it on amazon i forget how much . but its an option if u dont want the cloud

 

I do a divided folder type deal categorized into different sections, be sure and write the amount on top of the receipts in pen, some of those joker fad over time and you wouldn’t want to have to guess a fantasy amount to cheat Uncle Sam..lol.. works for me,, wife’s buisness we do same thing.. I’m not into scanning, or picture taking of em

 

I use OneDrive by Microsoft. It comes with yearly subscription to their office suite of which I use Excel mostly. I also have folders representing different expense categories and dump the pdfs scanned from my phone there. The very OneDrive app has the scanning into pdf file function.
Also, I have a 18 pocket file labeled with the same expense categories and put the paper receipts there too.

 

I do it yearly. I put all my receipts in a zip lock frozen baggie. This way if I need to find something, I just pick up the see thru baggie and look right thru it.

 

I have an expandable file folder. All the receipts for each month go into their own pocket. At the end of the month, all the receipts are entered into their respective categories using Numbers on the Macbook. At the end of the year, each month is printed out, added together and shipped off to tax person. Each month's receipts are then stapled together and placed in a large manilla folder which goes into a steel file cabinet with the associated tax return.
