@Taylor I’m British too – that’s why it’s so disturbing ;)

Hey all,

Just wanted to drop in and answer the IRS question.

@Tarique: The IRS has been accepting digital receipts since at least 1997 under certain conditions, all of which are met by the Shoeboxed organizational system.

The conditions are things like the fact that your receipts must be legible and that they must be submitted to the IRS within the accepted time frame typical for all receipts.

Read more from the IRS. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb97-13.pdf

Also, one of our value adds over a self-tagging service like Flickr is that we do the scanning, tagging and indexing for you as part of Receipt Mail-In.

@Imran Regarding “Shoelove”, it sounds a lot less odd when Nick says it in person with his British accent… :)

Great idea. It’s something I’ve been thinking about over the last couple of weeks. I would love to get rid of the pile of receipts that gather awaiting my tax return!

However, I wonder if the tax man would accept an electronic version of a paper receipt?

I’ve actually been thinking of scanning in most of my documents actually, to create some space in my bulging filing cabinet.

Personally, my needs are simple. I would just opt for scanning the docs and storing them in a private flickr set and use it’s tagging features to search for the relevant docs. I digress… :)

But, a useful service for those who need it.
