Keeper is a tax and bookkeeping platform from Keeper Tax, Inc. The company describes it as a modern tax platform where AI meets human accountants, and it lists itself as an IRS authorized e-File provider. It is built around people whose returns go beyond a single W-2.
The product targets freelancers, contractors, solo business owners, S-Corps and partnerships. Its site also names homeowners, dependents, rental property, investments and K-1s as situations it supports, and it works as a web dashboard and as an iOS and Android app.
Users link bank and card accounts, and Keeper scans those transactions to find and categorize tax-deductible expenses. The dashboard shows business deductions and business income, and it asks users to review uncertain transactions, such as whether a coffee purchase was a client meeting.
At filing time, users drop off tax forms such as a prior-year return, a 1099-NEC, a W-2 or a K-1, or enter details manually. The deductions found during the year are added to the return, a tax pro reviews and signs it, and Keeper e-files it with the IRS and state.
