Built for the self-employed
By April, the why is gone. Text it the moment you spend, so the deductions you earned still hold up at tax time.

The missing piece
Your bank keeps a perfect record of the what. The why is on you, and by April, it’s gone.
Your bank remembers
It forgets the part that counts
Tally captures the why the moment it happens, and cites the tax code behind it.
More than an expense tracker
No app to download, no spreadsheet, no shoebox. Text Tally as you spend, and walk into April already sorted.
Snap the receipt or fire off a note from the same Messages app you already use all day. Two seconds and it’s captured.
Each expense is filed under the right tax code, and a receipt is requested only when the IRS actually requires one. That locks in the context your bank never sees while it’s fresh: the difference between a deduction that holds up and one that gets disallowed.
Every expense documented the IRS way. Export a clean CSV, a QuickBooks-ready file, or email the whole year to your accountant, all in one tap.
Why Tally
Capture it in the moment and it’s solid. Reconstruct it in April and it’s a guess, the kind that gets a deduction tossed.

Why we built it
“The hard part was never saving the receipt. It was remembering why you spent the money.”
The problem Tally is built to solve.
No. Tally works entirely by text, so you send expenses as they happen. No bank linking, no logins to hand over.
No, it feeds it. Tally captures the why and exports a clean CSV or QuickBooks-ready file. Keep your books and your accountant; Tally fills the context gap.
For most expenses you don’t need the paper at all; your text is the record. Tally only asks for a receipt when the IRS actually requires one (for example, a meal of $75 or more).
Tally reads each expense, suggests the right category, and cites the IRC section behind it. You always have the final say.
Yes. Receipts live in private storage behind signed URLs, and we never sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
No. Tally is recordkeeping, not advice. For your specific situation, consult a licensed tax professional.
