KeyTax

Doing your own taxes as a 1099 worker shouldn’t mean a shoebox full of receipts and a panic attack every April. KeyTax tracks your mileage automatically, sorts your expenses as they happen, and shows you exactly what you owe — all year long, not just at tax time.

Built for people who don’t work a 9-to-5

Whether you’re a real estate agent, rideshare driver, contractor, freelancer, or run your own small business, KeyTax adapts to how you actually work. Onboarding walks you through a quick setup based on your specific industry, so you’re not stuck filling out generic forms that don’t apply to you.

Automatic mileage tracking that actually works

KeyTax logs your drives in the background — no more trying to remember if that trip to a client meeting was 12 or 15 miles. Every mile gets tracked and valued against the current IRS mileage rate automatically, so your deduction is ready when you need it. You don’t have to open the app or hit start — it just runs.

Connect your bank and stop entering things by hand (Platinum)

KeyTax connects securely to your bank and card accounts through Plaid, the same technology used by major banking apps. Once it’s connected, your income and expenses come in automatically and get sorted into the right categories — no manual entry, no spreadsheets, no wondering if you forgot to log something.

Your tax picture, updated in real time

Most apps show you a spreadsheet. KeyTax shows you where you actually stand — estimated quarterly taxes, year-to-date deductions, and a running total of what you’d owe if you filed today. No surprises, no scrambling.

Schedule C, built for your industry

Your Tax Center is organized around the deductions and categories that actually apply to your line of work, not a one-size-fits-all template. Income and expenses pulled in from your accounts get tagged and routed automatically so your books stay clean without you doing the sorting.

AI Coach — talk to it like a real consultation

Have a tax question at 11pm the night before a deadline? Talk to your AI Coach out loud, like you’re sitting across from an advisor, and get a real answer in plain English — not a canned FAQ response. It’s there to walk you through your numbers and help you understand what’s actually deductible. Silver includes 10 AI Coach sessions a month; Platinum gets unlimited access.

Manage multiple income streams

Got a side hustle on top of your main gig? Platinum users can run up to five separate profiles — perfect for anyone juggling more than one 1099 stream and needing to keep them cleanly separated.

Simple, honest pricing

Silver: $9.99/month — mileage tracking, industry-specific Tax Center, Schedule C organization, quarterly tax estimates, and 10 AI Coach sessions a month
