When I travel for business I buy gas, food, etc. When I categorize do I put them all under travel

How do I categorize travel expenses. Do I put them under regular categories of meals, gas, materials, or do I put them all under TRAVEL?

Hello Cham2526, Thanks for posting on the Community page, You can put them down as either, if your still not sure we would advise you speak to a trained and qualified accountant who will be able to advise which one would be best as we are just technical support and not trained accountants.

Thank you. Is the Travel account category 100% deductible, because I know when I do meals it is 50%?

Hi Cham2526. the travel expenses category is 100% allowable - if you have a partially allowable expense, you can exclude this transaction from the bank and enter the partial amount using a manual transaction posted to the default 'cash' account.
