It\u2019s that time of year again; tax time.\u00a0 What does that mean exactly?\u00a0 Pulling together receipts, reviewing bank accounts, collecting donation forms, finding investments; organizing anything and everything that has to do with your finances.\u00a0 If only you had take care of this when it happened last June.\u00a0 Or better yet, had a system set up where you didn\u2019t even have to think about what purchases you made, where they happened and what they were for.\u00a0 If only you had the Mint.com app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Mint.com<\/a> app allows you to track all your accounts\u2014banks, credit cards, loans, investments\u2014in one place. To start, plug in the identifying information for any accounts you want to include, and the app will track all your activity and balances in all those accounts. They connect to almost every US banking financial institution with internet banking capabilities which means, your bank, is most likely already part of their system.<\/p>\n

Once all of your desired accounts are set, the apps analytical tools go to work. Drawing on all your financial activity, it will, for example, organize your spending into simple categories such as restaurants, gas, groceries, etc. The tablet version even offers multicolored interactive historical pie charts.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a section where you can set up a budget based on the categories and keep track of how well you stick to it.\u00a0 It creates an easy way to see where you overspend. The app will alert you if you’re going over budget, and it can warn you if any of your balances are low, if there are bills to be paid, or if there is any unusual spending. On the investment front, the iPad app can show your latest asset purchases and the account’s latest value.<\/p>\n

Mint<\/a> uses 128-bit SSL encryption \u2013 the same security that banks use \u2013 so you know your data is protected.\u00a0 It\u2019s also validated by VeriSign and TRUSTe.\u00a0 It\u2019s a \u201cread-only\u201d service which means you cannot move funds between accounts and neither can anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just think, all of your financial information on one easy to use, secure platform.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure that would make pulling your tax information together a little easier.It\u2019s available on iPhone, iPad and Android, and it’s FREE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
