My alternative: 1. Toss receipts into a file folder per month. Time: <5 seconds per receipt. 2. At tax time, go through receipts and pull out tax related ones. Time: 30-45 minutes. Total time spent: an order of magnitude less than imaging/uploading receipts over the year. Security: never leaves your house. Cost: 12 file folders. Additional benefit: easy to find receipts by month for returns or disputes. Don't have to reprint receipts.
