I need a template to track monthly tax deductible expenses

[Guest]

Rather than spending 2 days every January going through previous years
reciepts separating taxable and non-taxable reciepts, I'd like to enter and
track them every month as I write them out, this way I can just bring them up
on my PC whenever I need them. When I'm ready to file my taxes, just the
touch of a key will bring up my entire years expenditures.

OK. What kinds of spreadsheets have you created in the past? Anything
involving a one-column list with a total at the bottom or top?

I have never created a spreadsheet, I just thought maybe there was something
in Excel or Word I could use or even if I have to buy a program that would be
o.k. too. Just something I couls access every month and keep a list and then
whenever I need to I can pull the list up. Thanks.

You already have everything you need in Excel, for free. Just my opinion,
but because this task is so simple, I think it would be not just a
disservice to you, but an insult, if anyone told you how to do it. Hit the
library for a basic Excel book. By next Tuesday, you'll be back here helping
other people.
