30-40%

of legitimate tool deductions get left on the table.

Most contractors and small business owners can't fully itemize because their records are scattered across receipts, credit card statements, and emails.

$300-2,500

is what most contractors lose every year in missed deductions.

At a 22-32% bracket, that's hundreds in real cash going to the IRS instead of staying in your pocket.

How it helps

Built for the CPA.Tired of February detective work.

Section 179 deduction

One toggle. Year-grouped. CPA-ready.

Section 179 lets contractors and small business owners deduct the full purchase price of qualifying tools in the year bought. Snapproof's tax export gives your CPA a year-by-year PDF with brand, model, retailer, price, and total — exactly what's needed for the deduction.

Receipt capture

Capture the receipt the day you buy the tool

Snap the receipt at purchase. AI extracts purchase date, retailer, price, and any extended warranty. By tax time, every tool you bought all year is already itemized. No February scramble.

Depreciation tracking

Know what to deduct when

Section 179 has annual limits. Some purchases benefit from depreciating over multiple years instead of expensing immediately. Hand your CPA the complete picture and let them optimize the strategy.

Audit-ready paperwork

Photos, serials, receipts. Stored.

If the IRS audits your tool deductions, you need proof. Snapproof keeps a photo of every tool, the original receipt, and the purchase details — encrypted in cloud storage and exportable on demand.

Customer stories

Deductions.Found in February.

My CPA mentioned Section 179 last year and I had no idea what was deductible. This year I kept snapping receipts every time I bought a tool. Hit February, flipped the toggle, sent him a PDF. He found me $2,100 in deductions I would have missed. Snapproof pays for itself for the next 20 years on that alone.

Twenty years of contracting. Twenty years of February meaning four hours of receipt archeology. This year I snapped every tool the day I bought it. February took twelve minutes. CPA found $3,400 in deductions I'd been writing off as 'lost to chaos.' Worth its weight at tax time alone.

Snapproof tracks records. We're not your tax advisor — consult your CPA for tax advice specific to your business.

How does Snapproof help with Section 179 tax deductions?

Snapproof captures purchase date, retailer, and price for every tool you add. The "Group by Year" PDF export gives your CPA an itemized list of every tool purchased in any given tax year, with subtotals and a grand total — exactly what's needed for Section 179 deduction documentation. Most contractors miss 30-40% of legitimate deductions because their records are scattered. Snapproof eliminates that gap.

What tools qualify for Section 179?

Section 179 generally allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment used in the business, including tools and equipment placed in service during the tax year. Annual deduction limits change yearly (consult your CPA for current limits). Most professional contractor tools, workshop equipment, and business-use vehicles qualify. Snapproof tracks the purchase data your CPA needs to claim the deduction.

What records do I need for tool deductions?

The IRS requires proof of business purpose, purchase date, retailer, and price. For audit protection, photographs and receipts are recommended. Snapproof captures all of this automatically — every tool you add has a photo, AI-extracted serial number, captured receipt, purchase date, retailer, and price stored in the cloud.

Can self-employed contractors deduct tools?

Yes. Self-employed contractors can typically deduct tools and equipment as business expenses on Schedule C, including via Section 179. The key is itemized documentation — every tool, every receipt, every purchase date. Snapproof builds this automatically. Hand the year-end PDF to your CPA in February.

How do I track tool purchases for taxes throughout the year?

Snap the receipt the day you buy the tool. AI extracts purchase date, retailer, price, and any extended warranty automatically. By December 31st, every business-purpose tool you bought all year is already itemized in Snapproof. February tax prep becomes flipping one toggle and emailing a PDF.
