CaughtUp

Get your tax documents together. Finally.

Built for founders, 1099 earners, landlords, and anyone with years of catch-up filing. CaughtUp walks you through collecting every document the IRS already expects you to have — one checklist, one folder, no shame.

Everything on this page stays in your browser. No account needed to start.

See what you need

A year-by-year checklist shaped for real founder taxes: 1099s, K-1s, rental income, equity forms, quarterly payments — not just a W-2.

Gather it fast

Point CaughtUp at your downloads folder and it sorts tax documents by year automatically. Your files never leave your computer.

Close the gaps

What you can't find, CaughtUp tells you exactly where to get: which portal, which page, which phone number.

Step zero: log into IRS.gov

Before you hunt through inboxes and portals, know this: the IRS already has a list of every W-2 and 1099 ever filed under your SSN. Pull it first and gathering becomes a checklist instead of a guessing game.
