A receipt is only half the story. Drystamp helps you keep the details behind your deductions and understand the rules behind them.
Built for US businesses.
From the first receipt
to your accountant’s inbox.
What you spent. Who you met. Why it mattered to your business. Keep the receipt and its context together, while it’s still fresh.
Drystamp reads your receipt and flags what a photo can’t tell you, like the business purpose or who was there.
Ask about a deduction. Get the underlying statute or regulation, the tax year, and the facts still needed.
DrystampUnder section 274(n)(1), a business meal is generally 50% deductible.
The meal must not be lavish or extravagant, you or an employee must be present, it must be provided to a current or potential business contact, and it must be properly substantiated.
Build the record as you go. Your future self and your accountant will thank you.
A record in the makingTell Drystamp about your business once. Later conversations use that context, alongside the receipts you’ve captured.
Your remembered information is visible and editable. A fact about your business is never treated as a legal source.
Good information includes knowing when to stop.
That’s built into how Drystamp works.
When the reference material doesn’t cover your question, Drystamp says so and points you to a professional.
Answers identify the tax year. Missing historical figures are flagged instead of being quietly replaced.
Uncertain receipt readings are marked for review. Drystamp explains rules and records; it doesn’t prepare returns.
Drystamp's reference material has not yet been reviewed by a licensed tax professional. This limitation is disclosed with every answer.
The short answers. Pricing questions are on the pricing page.
Drystamp is an expense substantiation tool for US small businesses. You photograph a receipt, it reads the vendor, date and amount, and then it tells you which details the IRS still requires that the receipt cannot show, such as the business purpose or who was there. When it is time to file, you export a record your accountant can work from.
A receipt proves an amount, a date and a merchant. For travel, meals, gifts and vehicle expenses, IRC 274(d) also requires the business purpose, and for meals and gifts the people involved and your business relationship to them. None of that is printed on the receipt, which is why records assembled at filing time so often have gaps that nobody can fill months later.
The amount, the date, the place, the business purpose, who was present and your business relationship to them. Drystamp reads the first three off the receipt and asks you for the rest while you still remember, then marks the record complete only when every required element is there.
No. It is a record-keeping tool. It explains what the rules require and cites the source, but it does not prepare or file returns and it is not a substitute for a CPA or an enrolled agent. You remain responsible for your return.
No, deliberately. When the assistant offers to fill in a gap, every value it proposes is quoted from something you actually wrote, and it shows you the quote. If it cannot cite your own words it offers nothing. A business purpose invented by software is not substantiation.
Yes. The image is the documentary evidence behind the figure, so it is stored encrypted rather than discarded after reading, and it stays available for as long as the record might be needed. Deleting a record deletes its image too.
Yes, and their seat is free on every plan. You choose which of your businesses they can see, and they get a read-only view: they can open records and issue exports but cannot change anything.
Yes. Records for each business are kept strictly apart, so an export for one never carries another's expenses, and you can give somebody access to one business without giving them the rest. Plans cover one, three or ten businesses.
