TaxLens AI extracting line items from receipt

Separate Business from Personal on the Same Receipt.

Went to Target or Costco, grabbed some office supplies for work, and picked up dinner for yourself? No problem.

Traditional expense trackers would make you pull your hair out to separate these. TaxLens automatically extracts every single line. With a simple swipe, you can mark non-deductible personal items and keep your taxes 100% compliant.

The Mixed Receipt Problem: Commingling business and personal expenses is a major IRS red flag. According to CPA advisory firm Wolters Kluwer, failing to accurately separate these line items can result in immediate audit complications and disallowed deductions.

  • Exclude personal expenses with one tap.
  • Automatically recalculate tax proportions based on selected items.
  • Perfectly compliant and audit-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an app extract line items from a receipt?

Yes. While basic apps only look for the total, TaxLens uses advanced contextual AI trained to identify the table structure of a receipt, extracting the item name, quantity, unit price, and total price for every single row.

How do I split business and personal expenses on one receipt?

Simply scan the mixed receipt with TaxLens. Once the line items are extracted, you can swipe left or tap on the personal items to mark them as non-deductible. TaxLens will automatically recalculate the eligible business total and tax.

Does it work with long supermarket or hardware store receipts?

Absolutely. TaxLens is designed to handle extremely long receipts from stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco, and Walmart. The AI scales seamlessly to process dozens of items instantly.

Is it better than QuickBooks or Expensify for itemization?

Yes, for solopreneurs and small businesses, TaxLens offers a significantly faster and smoother experience. Expensify often requires human review (SmartScan) and expensive subscriptions for detailed extraction, while QuickBooks makes line-item splitting a tedious, manual process. TaxLens does it instantly, right on your phone.
