After scanning, put the receipts in an envelope along with a copy of the tax forms you submit.

That is the beauty of using this...you can print the receipt out!

Not if your hard drive crashes. Of course, you could keep a copy on Dropbox or something similar.

There ya go!

Or you can create a zip folder and email it to yourself where it will be kept forever. I create folders in yahoo mail for this. You can also back it up to an external drive.

I like neatdesk. I think I'll get one.

I don't have $350 to spend right now, but I will soon. This looks like exactly what I need to help with my paperwork clutter.

I would think in case of an audit, you would have to show the actual receipt.
What would stop somebody from changing the receipt?

That's a good question. It would be pretty easy to Photoshop a receipt.

Which is why I said to save the originals.

Most people don't back their systems up locally, let alone a cloud drive, so having the original is a smart thing.

The Neat Desk simply helps you organize your paperwork into easily usable information.

The thermal paper that alot of store receipts are printed on is basically disappearing ink, cant tell you how many of those receipts I saved that went blank on their own.

All of my gas receipts end up that way.
