The bookkeeping gap
Amazon deposits $4,102.11. Your report says you sold $5,306.66. Neither is wrong — and nothing lines up.
Settlement reports mix sales, refunds, fees, reserves, and taxes into a payout that generic ledgers were never designed to explain.
The deposit is only the ending
Your bank shows the net payout. The report holds the gross sales and every deduction that produced it.
The usual answer is two tools
A general ledger plus a marketplace connector means two subscriptions and still no settlement-native books.
March becomes reconstruction
When every month is “close enough,” tax season starts with a year of spreadsheets and unexplained deposits.
How it works
Ten minutes, start to finish
Three steps, with every automated decision still visible and reviewable.
2
Import each settlement report
Download the report file from Amazon or Walmart and import it. Direct marketplace feeds are coming, not live today.
3
Review, then reconcile
Rules and AI sort transactions into tax-form buckets, show their reasons, and match the payout to its exact deposit.
Marketplace settlements arrive by report-file import today; direct feeds are labeled Coming.

- Read-only bank access Plaid connections can read transaction data; BucketBooks can never move money.
- We never see your card Payments run through Stripe, and the 30-day trial doesn't ask for a card.

- Not tax advice BucketBooks organizes your books — it doesn't compute taxes or give tax advice. Confirm numbers with your tax professional.
