What's a Schedule C?
The tax form you file with your return. If you get 1099s, that’s likely you.
Accuracy
How it works
Connect your accounts
Read-only bank and credit cards, connected by Plaid. New transactions land daily.
Categorized on arrival
Every transaction is sorted to its Schedule C line and your Profit & Loss as it comes in.
Corrections become rules
Fix anything wrong on the ledger. Correct the same vendor three times and it becomes a rule.
Export when you file
Generate a Schedule C or Profit & Loss at any time, in a few taps.
Pricing
Categorized costs $19 per month per business, billed monthly, with no minimum term. Cancel anytime.
- Plaid bank and credit card sync
- Auto-categorization
- Auto-reconciliation against statements
- Auto-rule-learning + year back-fill
- AI Autopilot
- P&L + Schedule C export, on demand
- Data export anytime, no lock-in
No minimum term, so it has to keep earning its place: rule-learning and back-fills get sharper the longer the system has your data, and a full year of it is what your tax return needs.
Get startedThe deal
Built by a CPA
The automation is anchored to real Schedule C structure, not a black box you have to take on faith.
Your books leave whenever you want
Profit & Loss and Schedule C export to plain CSV from inside the app, anytime, at no extra charge. No proprietary format, no lock-in. Ask for deletion and it’s gone.
AI with a confidence bar
Every transaction the AI categorizes carries a confidence score, and anything under the bar is flagged or queued rather than quietly filed.
AI Autopilot
On for new businesses, and you can switch it off anytime. With it on, lower-confidence transactions are categorized too and flagged for review on your ledger; with it off, they wait in your queue.
AI can make mistakes, and Categorized always encourages you to review the ledger for accuracy at least once per month.
Questions
The IRS form (Schedule C, Form 1040) sole proprietors and single-member LLCs use to report business income and expenses. If you get 1099s or run a business without a separate corporation, you almost certainly file one. Categorized sorts every transaction to the right line so the form is ready when you need it.
Purpose-built for creators, freelancers, and solopreneurs who need accurate and affordable bookkeeping. The founder is a CPA who has filed an ungodly number of Schedule Cs and reviewed thousands of sets of books. If Categorized shuts its doors, you get your data. No exceptions.
It’s designed to be, with guardrails rather than blind trust. Autopilot is on for new businesses: it categorizes the lower-confidence transactions too, and everything it touches is flagged for review on your ledger. Switch it off anytime, per business, and anything under the confidence bar waits in your queue instead. Correct the same vendor three times and that becomes a rule.
You don’t have to wait for a shutdown to get your books out. Schedule C and Profit & Loss export to plain CSV from inside the app, anytime, at no extra charge. Want it deleted? Ask, and it’s gone apart from the narrow records law and fraud prevention require. Categorized was built this way because of what Bench did to its clients.
No. Categorized is month-to-month at $19 per business. Cancel anytime from the business’s Billing page, no email or phone call, and service runs through the end of the billing period you’ve paid for. It does get better the longer it has your data: rule-learning, back-fills, and reconciliation all sharpen over a full tax year.
