Self-employed tax tracking that does the boring part for you.
1099Tracks is the iPhone app for realtors, freelancers, and side-hustlers who don't want to spend a Saturday categorizing transactions in March. We track your drives, business expenses, and deductible dollars — and do most of the sorting for you.
Why 1099Tracks
Automatic mileage tracking
Drive starts when you do, ends when you park. No buttons to remember. Every business mile, multiplied by the current IRS rate, on tap. (Automatic on Premium; Free includes manual Start & Stop.)
Plaid-connected expenses
Link your bank cards once. Every transaction lands in a Pending queue; a single tap categorizes it. No spreadsheets, no shoebox of receipts.
Year-end tax-ready export
Schedule C, by category, in a clean spreadsheet. Hand it to your accountant — or drop it straight into your accounting software. Done.

FAQ
Is my bank data safe?
Banks connect through Plaid. You sign in to your bank on Plaid’s screen, so we never receive your bank username or password. We request Plaid’s Transactions product only, which is read-only: the app cannot move money. Data travels over encrypted connections (TLS), our database is stored on an encrypted volume, and the token that connects your bank is encrypted again inside that database.
Does the mileage tracker drain my battery?
With automatic tracking (Premium), trips start when iOS detects you driving and end when you park. Between drives the app does not run GPS continuously; it waits on iOS’s low-power wake signals (significant location changes, motion activity, and a geofence). Manual Start & Stop uses GPS only while a trip is recording.
What if I don't drive for work?
Turn the mileage toggle off in the Mileage tab. The rest of the app (transactions, categorization, expense tracking, tax export) works fine without it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. If you subscribed in the app, cancel in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. If you subscribed on the web, cancel from your account page in the browser. Either way you keep access through the end of the billing period.
Does it work for non-realtors?
Yes. The default category set is realtor-tuned because that's our launch persona, but any 1099 filer — freelancers, contractors, rideshare, side-hustlers — can use it. You can rename or replace categories in the app at any time.
I'm an accountant. Can I use this with my clients?
Not as a multi-client dashboard yet. Today a client can add your phone number to their account so you can sign in to their books, and any user can send you the Schedule C PDF, the CPA tax package (Excel), or a QuickBooks / Xero import file. A dedicated accountant view is on the roadmap.
Do you offer a free trial?
We don't. The Free tier (1 linked account, 12 AI chats a week) is the evaluation path. Subscribe when you're ready for the full experience.
About us
Dana Marie Brown
Founder & CEO
Dana is a Nashville realtor working the Middle Tennessee market and the founder of 1099 Tracks. Like most independent contractors, she spent years closing out each tax season buried in manual expense logs and paying too much for mileage trackers that never quite fit how realtors actually work. Instead of just complaining about it, she did what she always does — she built the fix.
It helped that she’d already found her ideal co-founder: her husband, a developer, whom she told about the problem one night. What started as a favor for his wife turned into a full-fledged product — a modern-day love story that happens to run on code.
1099 Tracks is Dana’s fourth company. She’s had an entrepreneurial streak for as long as she can remember, and this one’s no exception — she’s building it with the same competitive drive she brought to the tennis court all four years of college. That mindset shows up in how she runs the business: set the goal, put in the work, and don’t settle for second place. And if her track record is any indication, this won’t be her last venture either.
