The proof, pinned to the number.

A deduction without a receipt is a hope, not a record. BareBones keeps the document attached to the exact ledger line it backs — so the story is always intact when it matters.

Every file lives on the line it belongs to

The problem was never storage — it was the gap between a number and its paper. A folder of receipts named IMG_4821.jpg helps no one in an audit. Here the file and the figure are the same record, so “which receipt was that?” stops being a question.

  • Keep the signed lease with the tenancy

When it counts

Audit-ready, without the shoebox

The IRS can ask you to substantiate a deduction years after you claim it. The landlords who dread that letter are the ones digging through email. The ones who don’t have every receipt already sitting on its line, one click away.

  • Pull up any year’s backup in seconds
  • Hand your accountant a clean trail, not a bag
  • Nothing to reconstruct at tax time — it’s already linked
