Keeper alternative that finds deductions and files for you

Keeper built its reputation on finding deductions, scanning bank and card transactions to surface write-offs for freelancers and 1099 workers throughout the year. That expense-tracking and deduction-finding focus is genuinely useful, and many people credit it with catching costs they would have missed. The reasons people look for a Keeper alternative usually center on filing itself: the tax return often bolts on to the deduction tracker or is handed to a human preparer, which can mean another fee, another handoff, and less of a single, self-serve flow from documents to a finished return.

TaxFile brings deduction finding and filing together. You upload your documents or chat, and the AI reads your W-2s, 1099s, and Schedule C details, proactively surfaces the deductions and credits you qualify for, runs an automated error check, and prepares a complete, review-ready return. You review and approve before it is e-filed through an authorized IRS e-file provider, with no handoff to a separate preparer. TaxFile is self-prepared tax software, not personalized tax advice, refunds are never guaranteed, and your data is encrypted and never sold.
