Hi, I'm Allen Lin. I'm a software engineer, and I have built payment and finance products for years. My small company, FormoHost LLC, has run online services since 2017.
I'm building RentalTabs because your books should live in a file you own, not inside someone else's app. Questions or ideas? Email me. I read every message.
We aim to open early access to the waitlist in early 2027, before tax season. Waitlist members hear first.
They keep your books inside their app. RentalTabs keeps them in a Google Sheet you own. Your CPA can open it, you can change it, and you keep it if you leave.
Bank sync uses Plaid, which many finance apps use. Access is read-only, so nothing can move money. We never see or store your bank password. The add-on can only see the sheet you use it in. You can also upload a CSV file instead.
A mortgage payment mixes interest and principal. You confirm the interest from your lender statement, and RentalTabs splits the payment. Only the interest goes to Schedule E.
Yes. Connect only the accounts you want. Mark a personal charge once, and similar charges are skipped next time.
No. The sheet comes ready to use, with tabs for transactions, properties, and Schedule E.
No. RentalTabs helps you organize your records. Please check your return with a tax professional.
At launch, we plan to support bank accounts in the United States.
