There's an app for that

     When I was growing up, my dad, who worked for over 25 years as an account executive and sales professional, kept a small notebook in his car to record his mileage to report his weekly business expenses. He also kept every receipt ever placed in his hands by a waitress, dry-cleaner, hotel clerk, parking garage attendant, or (insert business expense here.) Of course, this was in the day before the iPhone or Android and the term "apps" wasn't even part of our lexicon. After he passed away I found a box of receipts from the last year he worked before retiring. Not sure why he kept them. I suppose out of habit. 
     Nowadays there are many downloadable apps to help you track and report your business expenses to the IRS. And of course, almost all sync with your PC or laptop. Some work with GPS technology to record your milage, others allow you to take photos of receipts and stores them accordingly to subject.  Here is a list of recommended apps you might consider. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses and it may be worth giving a few of them a trial run.
