The problem
Rental income lands in the same account as everything else. Property expenses (repairs, insurance, mortgage interest, utilities) mix with personal spending. Come tax time you need per-property totals and a clean expense list, not a shoebox of receipts.
How Karchu helps
Karchu separates rental workflows into their own workspace, categorizes property expenses with rules you control, and exports per-category totals that map to Schedule E or your local rental tax form. Recurring costs like insurance and property management fees are tracked automatically.
Recommended workflow
- Create a workspace per rental property or a single Rentals workspace with property tags.
- Upload monthly statements from the rental account and any credit cards used for property expenses.
- Categorize with property-specific rules (repairs, utilities, insurance, mortgage interest).
- Export the year-end totals for your tax preparer.

Per-property totals in twenty minutes instead of the weekend I usually lose to it.
