Income Tax Preparation: How to Track Non-Cash Donations on Your iPad

BMG Certified Public Accountants LLPhas created an iPad version of its iDonatedIt app, which it developed in 2009 for the iPhone, the firm announced Monday.

iDonatedItwas the first mobile app to track, value and report non-cash charitable donations for income tax purposes, according to the statement. Now, in an effort to capitalize on the iPad's momentum and strengthen its own position as a leading developer of mobile tax applications, BMG has used the best features of the iPhone version to offer iPad users an enhanced user interface that takes advantage of the larger iPad screen.

"Our years of professional experience as CPAs led us to recognize that there was a very clear need for an app like iDonatedIt," Todd Blome, a BMG partner, said in the statement. "Valuing and tracking non-cash donations can be very tricky for the average taxpayer. iDonatedIt takes the guesswork out of the equation and helps users easily manage their donations from their mobile device."
