Forosophobia = the fear of taxes and the IRS

 

Feeling overwhelmed by the deluge of tax docs headed your way?

And Dropbox makes it easy to organize and access all your important info.

 

Keep scrolling for 3 tips to help you save time and your sanity during tax season.

This year, gift yourself more me time and less stress. Get prepped for tax season now—here's how:

1. Go paperless

Keep all your receipts in a shoebox? There's a better way. Our free doc scanner makes saving receipts and physical forms as simple as snapping a photo. Just tap (+) Create in the Dropbox mobile app to transform paper docs into high-quality PDFs or PNGs. Then you can store and organize all your records together in a single tax folder on Dropbox. And you'll know exactly where to find your medical bills, W-2s, and 1099s right when you need them.

 

2. Make filing quick and painless 

We've all been there: You finally finish your taxes but can't file until you find last year's AGI. It's a frustrating feeling and will certainly cost you time and unnecessary stress. With Dropbox, your tax folder is a one-stop-shop for all your receipts and tax forms. Everything is neatly organized and easily accessible. Plus, you'll always know where to find the document you need to file, including previous years' returns. 

Working with an accountant? Don't send sensitive financial files as attachments over email. Instead, you can securely share your entire tax folder with a few clicks. You can even set specific access permissions, like making a folder view only, for extra peace of mind. And with our Pro plan, you can set a link expiration date or password protect any shared file or folder. 

 

3. Protect your financial info

Dropbox has multiple layers of security to safeguard your most sensitive files. But you can take a few extra steps to protect your personal data:

  • Choose a strong password and enable multi-factor authentication for your Dropbox account
  • Lockdown your laptop or mobile device with a login password or PIN
  • Use full-disk encryption to protect your data if your device gets lost or stolen
  • Ask your account or tax preparer how they secure their accounts and devices

 

With these tips in your tool belt, you're well on your way to one of the best moments of the year. Get ready to check 'File Taxes' off your to-do list!
