Self Employed 1st Year Review!

After failing to keep good business records in my first year of being self employed, Im going to rely on this app in 2016 and see how it fares.

So far, I like the mile tracking, which I feel saves me from needing a separate app like MileIQ for the same purpose.

I use TurboTax at the end of each year and now that its fully online, I like that this app is promising the ability to export the data directly to TurboTax.

Estimations for quarterly taxes are also nice although there needs to be more instructions on how to actually pay them.

I also use the online service Stripe to accept credit card payments. The app doesnt yet support the authentication method needed. However, since all stripe transactions pass directly to my bank account, its not that important. I need to keep track of Stripes fees separately though.

Connected PayPal and Square accounts with no problem.

Minus one star:
Only glaring fault I have at the moment is that my main banking is through a Credit Union (SF Fire Credit Union to be exact) and although it shows up in search and connects successfully, no transactions have been shown since I connected it, so I havent been able to categorize my checking account transactions. Kind of important. I understand there are a lot of credit unions out there. But if this could be addressed, I think everything else is working nicely so far.
