What you're carrying

The receipts a gig
driver racks up in a week.

Gas

Every fill, on the days the deliveries barely covered it

Car washes

Small, frequent, and never kept

Phone mounts & chargers

The gear that quietly wears out every few months

Hot bags & coolers

Bought out of pocket, replaced more than once a year

Tolls

Pennies at a time, hundreds by December

Parking

Meters, garages, lots — the smallest slips of all

Every one is a business expense. Snap it and it's kept.

What goes wrong

The door pocket
is not a system.

A thermal paper receipt on a dashboard, its printing faded to almost nothing
A summer on a dashboard. Nothing left to read.

Gas slips and drive-thru receipts are thermal paper, and a parked car in July is about the worst place that paper can sit. They do not get lost so much as they go blank while sitting exactly where you left them.

A photograph taken the day you got it does not fade.

How it works

Three seconds
in the lot.

1

Snap it

In the parking lot, before the next ping. One hand.

2

AI reads it

Vendor, date, and total pulled off the paper. No typing.

3

It's kept

Filed and searchable, months after the paper went in the door pocket.

Why a photo counts

The IRS takes
digital copies.

You don't have to keep the paper. The IRS has accepted electronic records since 1997, as long as the copies meet a few basic conditions.

Questions

Straight answers.

Does the IRS accept photos of receipts?

Yes. Under Rev. Proc. 97-22 the IRS accepts electronic copies of paper records, provided the image is legible, matches the original, can be printed on request, and is stored securely. This is a recordkeeping answer, not tax advice — talk to your tax preparer about your own situation.

My gas receipts are on a card statement anyway. Why photograph them?

A statement shows an amount and a merchant. The receipt shows what was actually bought. Which of those matters to you is a question for your tax professional, but only one of the two is a record of the purchase itself, and it is the one that fades.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet — CabSnap is Android only. An iPhone version is in development. There's no release date I can promise you yet. More on the iPhone version

Do I need it if I only drive part time?

Fewer receipts is still receipts. The app does not care about volume — it costs nothing to download and the habit takes three seconds per receipt.
