What LedgerAI Finds

The four things that cost freelancers
the most money at tax time.

LedgerAI looks for the specific issues that hit independent professionals hardest: tools on the wrong account, contractors with no 1099 trail, personal charges in business books, and missed home office deductions.

Tool Expense Error
Software & SaaS Tools on the Wrong Account
Notion, Figma, Linear, AWS, Vercel, Loom, and dozens of other tools routinely land in "Uncategorized" or "Office Supplies." LedgerAI corrects them to Software automatically.
Corrections applied automatically
Notion $16.00 Office Supplies Software
AWS (Amazon Web Services) $142.38 Uncategorized Software
Figma Pro $45.00 Miscellaneous Software
3 tool expenses corrected and applied to QuickBooks
1099 Risk
Contractor Payments Not Tracked for 1099
When you hire other freelancers via Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal, those payments often land in "Uncategorized." LedgerAI routes them to Contract Labor and flags anyone over $600 for 1099 review.
1099 contractor queue
Alex T. · Venmo $3,200 YTD Needs W-9
Jordan L. · PayPal $1,850 YTD Needs W-9
Sam K. · Zelle $420 YTD Under $600
$5,050 in contractor payments tracked. 2 flagged for 1099.
Personal Charge
Personal Expenses Mixed Into Business Books
Grocery runs, streaming services, and clothing purchases on the business card inflate your expenses and distort your home office and equipment deductions. LedgerAI flags them all.
Personal charges detected
Whole Foods Market $94.20 Personal
Spotify $10.99 Personal
H&M Online $67.00 Personal
$172.19 removed from business P&L and separated
Home Office Tracked
Home Office & Equipment Deductions Captured
Your monitor, desk chair, WiFi, and home office percentage: all categorized correctly so your CPA can apply the right deductions without asking you to reconstruct receipts at year end.

Amazon (LG Monitor) $389.00 Equipment

What freelancers actually say.

Sarah M.
Freelance Designer, NJ
★★★★★

"I had 8 contractors last year paid through Zelle and PayPal. None of them showed up right in QuickBooks. LedgerAI found all of them, flagged every one for 1099 review, and also caught $4,100 in software expenses that were sitting in the wrong category. My CPA was genuinely surprised by how clean the books were."

Questions freelancers ask.

Does LedgerAI know freelance and SaaS tools? +

Yes. Notion, Figma, Linear, Vercel, AWS, Loom, Stripe, PayPal, Upwork, Fiverr, Calendly, Zoom, Slack, and dozens more are in the built-in pattern library. Software subscriptions, platform fees, and tools are all categorized correctly on the first run.

How does it handle Stripe and PayPal fees? +

Stripe processing fees, PayPal fees, and Venmo/Zelle payments are all recognized and categorized. Payment platform fees go to Bank Charges or Merchant Fees. Payments to other individuals are flagged as potential Contract Labor for 1099 review.

Can I deduct home office expenses? +

LedgerAI tracks internet bills, equipment purchases, and home-office-related spending so your CPA has everything needed to apply the home office deduction. The actual deduction calculation is done by your CPA; LedgerAI makes sure nothing is missing or miscategorized.

What if I hired other freelancers this year? +

Payments to individuals via Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or check are flagged as potential Contract Labor. Anyone paid over $600 in the year is added to the 1099 review queue. You confirm the status; your CPA or LedgerAI's summary handles the filing prep.

Can I run a review on past years? +

Yes. The Pro plan supports full-year reviews on any date range going back to 2020. If you have years of messy QuickBooks, run the review on each year. The first run catches the most; every run after is faster.

Will it change my existing QuickBooks data? +

Only miscategorized or uncategorized transactions are updated, and only after you approve the changes. Nothing is written to QuickBooks until you click approve.

Can I cancel anytime? +

Yes. Cancel anytime from your dashboard. No fees, no lock-in.

Connect QuickBooks and see what your freelance books have been missing.

Run a books review, catch every miscategorized tool subscription and missed contractor 1099, and hand your CPA exactly what they need. 14-day free trial.
