Let me share a few details about attaching receipts, Rosehatley.
QuickBooks Self-Employed scans the receipts and enters the information automatically for you. It will take a few seconds or minutes to finish. Once it's uploaded, you'll have to categorize it, and the amount will be totaled to your account immediately.
You can check this reference for more information: Record or attach expense receipts in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
