Good day, @autobodysolution.

 

In QuickBooks, you don't necessarily attach receipts of your transactions. However, you may if you need to.

 

I'll guide you on how to do it using the web browser:

 

  1. Go to the Banking or Transactions menu.
  2. Select the Receipts tab. 
  3. Drag and drop receipts directly into QuickBooks Online, or select Browse to upload them. 

 

For mobile devices, here's how:

 

  1. Open the app, then tap the Menu ≡.
  2. Tap Receipt snap then hit the Receipt Camera and snap a photo of your receipt.
  3. Tap Use this photo, then Done.

 

Once the receipt is added to QuickBooks, it'll show up in the For Review tab where you can review, edit, and match transactions.

 

For more insights, read through this article to learn more about capturing and categorizing receipts and bills.

 

Please post your questions in the comments section below if you have any. I'll respond as soon as I can. Take care!

I guess what I'm wondering is, if I use my business debit card for let's say fuel for my work van, it shows up as an expense on quick books... if I also snap the receipt from that same fuel purchase, I'm thinking it's counting the expense twice on quickbooks.  Is my thinking correct?  

 

But let's say I use cash to purchase fuel for my work van, I would then want to snap the receipt, because it won't automatically be attached to my expenses, as it would be with my linked business debit card.

Thank you for getting back to us, autobodysolution.

 

Yes, that's correct. If you use the debit/credit card linked to QuickBooks and add the expense using the snap receipt feature, you'll end up with the duplicate entry. Otherwise, if you use cash and use the snap receipt feature to add them, you will only have one entry for your expense. 

 

Check out Step 2 in this article to guide you in reviewing, adding, or matching receipts and bills to QuickBooks: Upload your receipts and bills to QuickBooks Online.

 

You can also consider manually attaching the receipt when you categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'll be here if you still have follow-up questions or other banking concerns. Have a wonderful day!
