Why receipts matter

For most day-to-day business expenses, a categorized transaction is enough. But for certain purchases - meals, travel, large equipment buys, or anything that might be questioned in an audit - having the actual receipt attached to the transaction is what makes the deduction defensible.

The IRS generally requires documentation for business expenses over $75. Keeping receipts attached in Kick means you're building that paper trail automatically, not scrambling for it later.

How to attach a receipt

You can attach a receipt to any transaction in a few ways:

From the transaction detail:

1. Open any transaction by clicking on it

2. Click Attach receipt (or the paperclip icon)

3. Upload a photo, PDF, or image file from your device

From your email (forwarding): Forward any email receipt to your Kick receipts inbox. Kick will automatically match it to the right transaction. Find your unique forwarding address in Settings → Receipts.

From your phone: Use the Kick mobile app to photograph a receipt immediately after a purchase. Kick will match it to the pending or settled transaction.

Receipts and reconciliation

When your accountant reconciles your books, they may flag transactions that are missing documentation. Attaching receipts as you go - rather than in one batch at year-end - keeps that process smooth and fast.

During tax prep, receipts already attached to transactions mean your accountant can move faster and your records are audit-ready without extra work.

Tips

• Attach right away - it takes 10 seconds after a purchase and saves hours at year-end

• Meals and entertainment - add a memo with who you met and the business purpose; receipt alone isn't always enough

• Recurring expenses - for subscriptions and recurring charges, one receipt on file is typically sufficient unless the amount changes
