Set up your business
Three short steps:
- Step 1: About your business. Type your business name (your own name is fine) and pick the kind of work you do: consultant, real estate agent, contractor, freelancer, gig worker or something else. This picks the word Tallibook uses for your client work, like Projects, Deals, Jobs or Gigs. You can change it later.
- Step 2: A few quick details. Pick how your business is set up (most people starting out are sole proprietors) and your state.
- Step 3: Do you drive for work? Add your car's name, like "2019 Toyota Camry", so logging a trip is one tap. Not driving for work? Tap Skip and finish.

What to do first
- Snap a receipt. Tap the big + and choose Snap a receipt. We read it and fill everything in. See Snap a receipt.
- Log a trip. Business miles are one of the biggest deductions there is. See Log a trip.
- Add a customer. Just a name is enough. See Add a customer.
The Getting started card on Today lists five more steps, like forwarding email receipts and importing a bank statement. It ticks them off as you go, and you can hide it any time.
