RedGear Technologies, developer of TaxWorks professional tax software, and marketer Business Owners Advandage have launched an affiliate program for tax professionals to offer Deductr, an automated expense tracking tool for taxpayers.
Deductr is designed to help taxpayers who file a Schedule C, C-EZ, partnership returns and the like. to automate the process of tracking time, activity, income, expenses and mileage associated with business ownership. Deductr is now available on a subscription basis to business owners through their tax professional.
Professional tax preparers interested in offering Deductr to their clients can sign up to be an affiliate through TaxWorks, which can then offer Deductr for half price to their business clients.
“Since partnering with Deductr we have had a warm reception from the tax preparation community,” said RedGear president Chip Coons. “Many tax professionals have been able to sign up for a trial account and see the advantages Deductr can bring to their client base. We’re launching the capability for tax professionals to become affiliates and to participate in helping their clients take full advantage of all of their deductions in a simple and mobile fashion.”
This product is available for all tax professionals to sign up as affiliates at http://www.taxworks.com/Deductr.aspx.

It only tracks Credit card expenses. This is not an accounting program and I think Tax Works and any preparer who recommends this to their clients is doing them a grave disservice. If they don't know enough to properly classify their expenses, they need to have a conference with their tax person. This is not going to help them. It will provide a false sense of security.
QuickBooks and other programs will download transactions direct from the banks too. And they are real accounting programs that generate a real Balance Sheet as required for Corporate, Partnership, LLC entity filing. Any accountant worth their salt will want that for a Schedule C too.
