Log an expense with a receipt photo

The expense you log in thirty seconds today is the deduction you don't lose next April.

Log it

1. Open the Money tab.
2. Tap Add expense.
3. Pick the property (and unit, if it applies), choose a category — repairs, insurance, utilities, and so on — and enter the amount and date.
4. Attach the receipt: tap the photo field and either pick a file or use Take photo to snap the paper receipt right there at the hardware store.
5. Save.

Why the category matters

The categories map to the lines on Schedule E, the tax form for rental income. Categorize as you go and your tax-season summary assembles itself — every expense already attributed to the right property.

Good habits

• Log the expense the day you pay it, while the receipt is still in your hand.
• One expense per receipt. It keeps the paper trail clean if you're ever asked to show it.
• Not sure of the category? Pick the closest — you can change it later, and your accountant will thank you for the photo either way.
