Step 4 of 6 · Freelancer setup

Get your receipts in

A bank line says $214 at the office-supply store. The receipt says what you bought, and whether it's deductible.

Your bank shows the amount. The IRS wants the proof. Receipts are what turn a vague charge into a defensible deduction, and ExpenseGhost gives you two ways to get them in without any data entry.

Forward them by email

Forward any receipt from your inbox to receipts@expenseghost.app. The AI reads the merchant, total, and date, then tries to match it to the bank transaction it belongs to.

One rule that trips people up: we only accept receipts forwarded from the email address on your account. A forward from any other address is ignored, with no error. So if a vendor emails a receipt to a different inbox, forward it from your registered email and you're set. You can confirm which address that is, and copy the forwarding target, under Account settings.

Or upload them

Open Receipts and drag a photo or PDF onto the page, or use the file picker. Same result: the details get read and matched for you.

What happens next

However a receipt arrives, it lands in Pending review on the receipts page until you confirm the details. Most match themselves to a transaction. For the few that don't, you'll match them by hand in the next step. Forward a backlog now if you've got one — the matching runs while you keep going.
