Finding Tax Deductions Manually in Bank Data

Unearthing tax deductions in bank data typically involves a series of time-consuming steps:

  2. Download Transactions to Spreadsheets: Export your transaction history, often requiring conversion into a spreadsheet format for easier analysis.
  3. Categorise Expenses: Manually sift through each transaction, categorising them into deductible and non-deductible expenses.
  4. Identify Potential Deductions: Employ your understanding of tax laws to pinpoint transactions that qualify as deductions, a process that’s prone to oversight and errors.
  5. Consult A Tax Professional: To ensuring that deductions are valid and current.

This method is not just arduous but also fraught with the risk of missing significant deductions, ultimately impacting your financial outcome.
