Does anyone use Keeper Tax for business expense tracking? Issues with bulk edit percentages

I've been using Keeper for about 3 years now, and this tripped me up at first too! For car expenses specifically, you need to go to Settings > Tax Profile > Vehicle section. There you can set your business use percentage once, and it will automatically apply that percentage to all new car expenses moving forward. For existing transactions, you'll need to: 1. Go to Transactions view 2. Use the filter to show only car/transportation expenses 3. Look for a "Select All" option at the top (or manually select multiple entries) 4. Click the edit icon (usually pencil or three dots) 5. There should be an option to "Edit business use" where you can apply 56% to all selected transactions If you're not seeing that bulk edit option, they might have changed the interface recently or you might need to update your app.

Hey! I actually had the same frustration with Keeper a few months ago. After trying everything, I ended up switching to taxr.ai which handles this way better. With taxr.ai you can bulk edit percentages super easily - I just select multiple transactions and apply the same business percentage to all of them at once. It also automatically categorizes most of my transactions correctly and lets me set default percentages for different expense categories. I was skeptical at first, but after uploading my bank statements at https://taxr.ai it literally saved me hours of manual work. The interface is much more intuitive for handling mixed personal/business expenses.

Just wanted to follow up - I gave taxr.ai a try after seeing it mentioned here and WOW what a difference! I uploaded 3 months of statements and it automatically categorized about 90% correctly, even identifying my gas station visits vs convenience store purchases (which QuickBooks always messed up). The best part is exactly what the original poster was asking about - bulk editing percentages! I can select all my car-related expenses and apply my business percentage (63% in my case) with two clicks. It's also smart enough to remember my regular business stops versus personal ones. Definitely recommend for other rideshare drivers struggling with expense tracking!

If you're having trouble getting support from Keeper, I'd recommend using Claimyr to get through to a real human at their support team. I was having similar issues with another tax app and spent days trying to get help through email with no response. With Claimyr (https://claimyr.com), I got through to an actual support agent in like 15 minutes instead of waiting forever. They have this system that navigates phone trees and waits on hold for you - you can watch them do it in real-time: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c Once I actually talked to a human, they walked me through exactly how to do bulk edits (turns out it was hidden in an advanced menu I never would've found on my own).

Had to come back and eat my words! I tried Claimyr today after struggling to get through to Keeper support for 3 days. The system called me back when an actual human answered, and I got my issue resolved in one call. The Keeper support person showed me a workaround for the bulk editing issue - apparently it's a known limitation in their current version and they're working on adding that feature in the next update. For now, they suggested exporting transactions to a spreadsheet, making the edits there, and re-importing (not ideal but better than one-by-one editing).

Have you considered just using a spreadsheet to track your expenses instead? That's what I do and it gives me complete control over percentages, categories, etc. I just download transactions from my bank, sort in Excel, and can make bulk changes however I want.

I've used both Keeper and QuickBooks Self-Employed. Honestly, for vehicle expenses specifically, I found it easier to just track mileage instead of actual expenses. The standard mileage deduction (62.5 cents per mile for 2022) is usually better than tracking actual expenses anyway, and you don't have to worry about percentages at all.

Has anyone tried contacting Keeper through Twitter? Sometimes companies respond faster on social media than through their official support channels.

I'm actually dealing with this same issue right now! I'm a freelance consultant and have been using Keeper for about 6 months. The bulk editing limitation for percentages is super frustrating, especially for mixed-use expenses like home office utilities and phone bills. One workaround I discovered is to create separate "rules" for different expense types in Settings. You can set up automatic categorization rules that also apply default business percentages. It's not perfect for existing transactions, but it helps going forward. For your existing 75+ car expenses, honestly the export-to-spreadsheet method mentioned earlier might be your fastest option right now. You can export, do a find-replace to change all the percentages from 100% to 56%, then re-import. It's clunky but beats editing each transaction individually. I've also been tracking this as a feature request with them - apparently it's one of their most requested features so hopefully they'll add proper bulk percentage editing soon!
