Hurdlr is an innovative app designed to simplify financial management for independent contractors, freelancers, small business owners, and self-employed entrepreneurs. It seamlessly integrates with thousands of banks and popular platforms such as Uber, FreshBooks, Square, Stripe, and Paypal to automatically import income and expenses. This automation helps users easily calculate their income taxes without manually tracking receipts or mileage logs, making tax season much less stressful.
The app offers both free and premium versions, with the free version providing more features than typical mileage-only apps. It allows users to track expenses, estimate income tax, and semi-automatically log mileage. The premium version enhances these features with more automation capabilities and is offered at a lower price compared to other self-employed accounting apps. Additionally, Hurdlr includes a detailed business tax tracker that supports quarterly tax calculations, ensuring users stay on top of their tax responsibilities throughout the year.
Hurdlr is particularly suited for individuals with 1099 income, including Uber and Lyft drivers, freelancers, real estate agents, Airbnb hosts, Postmates couriers, and other self-employed professionals. It features an automatic mileage tracker that helps maximize deductions by allowing users to claim 58 cents per mile driven for work. The app also automatically tracks expenses by linking with thousands of banks, enabling users to identify potential tax deductions by analyzing their financial data. Users can export full expense reports, receipts, and send them directly to tax preparers or email addresses.
The platform provides real-time income tracking by notifying users when they receive payments from various sources like Stripe, Paypal, or bank transfers. It offers an accurate self-employment tax calculator, estimating federal, state, and quarterly taxes easily with just a tap. Designed with low battery consumption in mind, Hurdlr ensures the app remains functional during long work periods on the road. Built by entrepreneurs for small business owners, Hurdlr emphasizes personalized customer support through live chat and offers a premium plan at $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually, including additional features like real-time tax calculations, work hours, speed tagging, and more, which can even be deducted as a business expense.
