Learn how to export your receipts.

Need the receipts you entered into QuickBooks Self-Employed? You can export them all at once or one at a time.

We recommend using a web browser since the download file may be large.

On a web browser

  • Go to the Reports menu.

  • In the Receipts section, select a tax year from the dropdown. If you want everything, select All time.

  • Select Download.

  • Select the link to download your receipts as a ZIP file.

Important: If you select All Time and see an error, don't worry. It means you have a lot of receipts and the file is too large. Download your receipts one tax year at a time.
