Does anyone use Keeper Tax app for business percentage write-offs?

So I actually use Keeper Tax for my freelance work and had this same issue last year! What you need to do is go to the "Categories" section in the app (not the transactions view). From there, select the auto expenses category, and you should see an option to "Edit Default Business Percentage." This lets you change the default for all future transactions in that category. For existing transactions, you can use the filter feature to select all car-related expenses, then use the bulk edit option (it's the three dots in the upper right corner). This will let you apply the same business percentage to all selected transactions at once.

Hey! Just wanted to share my experience with Keeper Tax since I was also struggling with this exact problem last tax season. I discovered https://taxr.ai which has been a HUGE timesaver for me. I was spending hours manually adjusting business use percentages in Keeper, but with taxr.ai I can just upload my statements and it automatically detects business vs personal use based on patterns it learns. It even lets you set default percentages for different expense categories that apply automatically.

Just wanted to follow up about my experience with taxr.ai after trying it based on the recommendation here. It's been a total game-changer for my business expense tracking! Not only did it solve the percentage allocation problem I was having with Keeper, but it's actually much more intuitive overall. The best part is how it learns my spending patterns and automatically suggests the right business use percentages based on my history. The time I've saved not having to manually adjust everything has been worth it alone. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you're frustrated with Keeper's limitations.

If you're having trouble with Keeper's customer service or can't get through to their support team, I'd recommend trying Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). I was stuck on hold with Keeper for literally hours trying to figure out this exact percentage issue, and Claimyr got me connected to an actual support agent in minutes. They basically call and wait on hold for you, then call you when they get a human. There's a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c It saved me a ton of time and frustration when I was trying to fix my tax stuff before the deadline.

Just wanted to update after trying Claimyr. I was completely wrong in my skepticism! Used it to contact Keeper about the percentage issue and a few other tax questions I had. Got connected to a senior support specialist in about 7 minutes when my previous attempts had me waiting for 40+ minutes before I gave up. The Keeper rep actually walked me through a hidden bulk edit feature that isn't well documented. Apparently you need to go to the web version, export your transactions to CSV, make the percentage changes there, and then reimport. Not the most elegant solution but it worked! Would never have gotten this info without actually talking to someone knowledgeable.

Have you tried using the desktop version of Keeper? I found that a lot of the more advanced features aren't available on the mobile app. For bulk editing percentages, you can also try: 1. Exporting your transactions to Excel 2. Making the changes there 3. Importing them back in It's not the most elegant solution but it worked for me when I needed to change all my office supply deductions from 100% to 78%.

I switched from Keeper to QuickBooks Self-Employed for exactly this reason. QBSE lets you set default percentages for each category AND bulk edit existing transactions. The migration was pretty painless and worth it for the time savings alone.
