\"Organize<\/p>\n

Ease some of the pain of\u00a0tax season<\/strong> with a few sheet protectors<\/a><\/strong>, a 3 ring binder<\/a> <\/strong>and index dividers<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0Take a cue from\u00a0savvy\u00a0home cooks and adapt the standard recipe binder into a receipt binder<\/strong>. \u00a0Use one sheet protector for each month, or try this tip for Coupon Fairies: fold your sheet protectors in half for twice the storage space.<\/p>\n

The Get-It-Done Guy<\/a> uses a version of this trick to track business expenses. \u00a0Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n

1. Fill a binder with plain 3-hole punched paper<\/a><\/strong> and 12 monthly index dividers<\/a><\/strong> — one for each month.<\/p>\n

2. Instead of shuffling receipts off into a file box (or lets be real, a shoe box), scotch tape<\/strong> your receipts to the paper.<\/p>\n

3. Once you fill up a page, add up the receipts and jot down the total in the corner.<\/p>\n

4. Use the index dividers<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0separate\u00a0the months for easy reference.<\/p>\n

Try these tips if you’ve been faithfully hoarding old\u00a0receipts\u00a0into shoe boxes. Or if you have a better method of tracking expenses, we’d love to hear them. Leave your tips in the comments.<\/p>\n
