Tally - AI expense and deduction tracking for the self-employed

Most expense tools track what you spent. Tally captures why, the one thing your bank statement can't tell you, in the moment you spend. You text a photo or a quick note to the Tally number. Tally extracts the expense, categorizes it under the right tax code, and asks for a receipt or detail only when the IRS actually requires it and cites it properly. No app, no spreadsheet. Built for self-employed people with nothing organized for tax season.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Tally because I have experienced first-hand and watched self-employed family member do the same painful thing: sit down in April with a year of bank statements and try to remember why a $90 dinner in March was a business expense. Their bank knew what they spent. Nobody captured why. And by tax time it was too late. So Tally captures the why in the moment you spend, in the most frictionless way possible - by text! You snap a receipt or type a few words to your Tally number. The Tally reads it, sorts it into the right tax category with the relevant tax code, and asks for a detail only when the IRS substantiation rules actually require it, ensuring you are always tax compliant. The rest of the time it just logs it and gets out of your way. No app to download, no spreadsheet to keep. It's built for sole proprietors, freelancers, and 1099 folks who pay business costs from a mix of personal &/or business cards and have nothing organized for tax season. Not the Mercury + QuickBooks + accountant crowd. The people that stack leaves behind. Welcome, any and all feedback... what's good, bad, confusing, missing, why you wouldn't use it. I'm in the comments all day. Cheers -- James
