Honest question: Does it really save time and energy to scan receipts? Personally, the systems I use at home and used for our business require virtually no extra time. I usually handle them only once, and that's pretty much forever. I look at the receipts, enterthe data into a spreadsheet, then I stick them in an envelope or file folder. All information I need at tax time is already in a spreadsheet, so the only time I touch them again is on the rare occasion when I need to see an original for some reason.

I've seen others suggest scanning, but I've never been able to see the value. ???
