The Tax App Built for 1099 Workers & Self-Employed
Stop overpaying the IRS. KeyTax automatically tracks your business expenses, categorizes them into IRS-recognized tax categories, and generates export-ready reports for your CPA — designed for how self-employed professionals actually work.
Why Most 1099 Workers Overpay on Taxes
As a 1099 independent contractor, every missed deduction costs you real money. Most self-employed professionals struggle with tax tracking because generic tools weren't built for them.
How KeyTax Solves Tax Tracking for Self-Employed Professionals
KeyTax replaces spreadsheets, shoeboxes, and guesswork with a purpose-built tax tracking platform designed around the self-employed professional's tax reality — and built by Big 4 accountants who know 1099 taxes inside out.
Real Estate Tax Categories
Pre-built IRS categories for commission splits, brokerage fees, marketing, staging, mileage, client entertainment, office supplies, and every deduction agents commonly claim.
Automatic Expense Categorization
Log an expense and KeyTax suggests the right tax category. No more guessing whether a lunch was 'meals & entertainment' or 'client acquisition.'
Receipt Capture & Storage
Snap a photo or forward an email receipt. KeyTax stores it digitally, attached to the right transaction — no more shoeboxes full of faded paper.
CPA-Ready Tax Reports
One click to generate categorized expense reports organized by IRS Schedule C categories. Hand them to your tax preparer and save hours of back-and-forth.
