How do I email receipts to quick books so that they are linked electronically to my account?

Good day, tulipsayso!

You can attach a PDF copy of your receipts when you create an expense in QuickBooks Online. Though, there isn't a way to link emailed receipts with QuickBooks at this time. 

I'd suggest sending feedback to our developers to consider an easier way to enter electronic receipts in QuickBooks Online. You can click on the Gear icon, and then select Feedback. 

QuickBooks Online can also integrate with third-party apps. You can browse our app store for apps that let you link your receipts with QuickBooks Online:

Why can you email receipts and track mileage in Self-Employed but not in the monstrously more expensive version of your software: Quickbooks online?

Hello there, someonehosed.

Thank you for posting here in the Community. I'm here to help provide information about using these two QuickBooks products.

The Self-Employed version is specifically designed to track expenses and mileage automatically. While in QuickBooks Online, you may need to attach the receipts into the transactions manually.

If you want to track mileage, you can use bills as an alternative. For the detailed steps of the process, I'm adding the article I recommend on this:

How to track mileage.

Hi Tulip,

I posted a similar question yesterday as there is an email that can be used to simply forward your email with the receipt attached to it.  The email address is [email address removed].  I tried this after reading an artical about it.  I used to use an app called 1Tap and that was brilliant, you simply enetered the email and off it went, fully logged.  However, when I used the Quickbook version of this, it simply spat it back at me.  When I contacted Quickbooks about this, it took a while as they didn't really understand the concept (even though they advertised this functionality).  They finally came back to me and said, its only available for the US and self employed people.  I have asked them to port it over but they said they cannot give me a timescale. So somehow we need to get some support behind this and force them to make this change.

Is this because people who are not self employed don't have any receipts?

What planet are you from!!!!!
