Frequently Asked Questions

No. WriteOff is an accounting system, not tax filing software. It keeps your books current, tracks deductions, and estimates what you'll owe as the year goes — then exports clean records to you or your accounting professional at filing time. Filing the return itself is done elsewhere. WriteOff helps you prepare 1099-NECs for contractors you pay. Transmission runs through a third-party provider and you remain the filer of record.

Yes. WriteOff supports sole proprietorships, single-member LLCs, and S-Corps. The Strategy Finder models a rough S-Corp comparison from your income. Whether the election is available or advisable is a question for your accounting professional.

WriteOff connects to thousands of US banks and credit unions. Connect checking, savings, and credit card accounts. All connections use encryption in transit and at rest, with read-only access — WriteOff cannot initiate payments or transfer funds.

WriteOff is in private beta and access is invite-only. Request an invite on the waitlist page and we email you when a spot opens. Beta access is free and no credit card is required. When we start charging we will tell you at least 30 days beforehand and you can decide then.

WriteOff encrypts data in transit and at rest, connects read-only through a bank-data aggregator; your bank credentials are handled by that aggregator and are not stored on our systems. See our security page for details.

Every plan includes invoicing and mileage tracking. Starter ($19/mo) covers core bookkeeping. Pro ($39/mo) adds the Strategy Finder, 1099/W-9 management, and up to 2 business entities. Premium ($109/mo) adds the WriteOff Assistant and up to 3 entities. Enterprise is custom-priced for unlimited entities — built for production and rental companies that hold one entity per asset.

Yes — the spouse seat add-on lets a second user (your spouse) access the account for married-filing-jointly workflows, including joint income tracking.

Not necessarily — but it makes your accountant's job much faster. We run a partner program that gives accountants access to every client from one login, plus a referral commission that starts at 10% and rises to 15% past 3 active clients and 20% past 10. Each referred client pays out for 12 months from their signup, and there is no limit on how many you refer. Program terms are confirmed in writing when you join.
