3) Create tabs for each tax category that you will have receipts for (see list of possible categories below)
4) Put the file folder in a place where you'll see it and use it!!
5) Whenever you take receipts out of your pocket, wallet, purse etc... place it in the appropriate pocket in your file.
6) At the end of the year, you have two choices.
