About Rick Lafave

I’ve been in financial services since college—banking first, then tax from 2008. I started WriteOffs.io because too many independent earners arrive at tax time under-prepared and leave Write-Offs on the table.WriteOffs.io helps solo entrepreneurs and anyone “paid on a 1099” capture receipts, review likely Write-Offs in plain English, track mileage, and export a clean, audit-ready package for tax time.MVP: receipt capture (camera/drag-drop), classification, mileage tracking, export for your tax return.Phase 2: secure bank integrations.Privacy: We will never sell or share your data. We don’t make money from your information.
