Replace your lost receipt
Did you lose your receipt for an important purchase? Use this template to reconstruct the expense for your records. Whether you are closing the books for the month, preparing a tax return, or requesting reimbursement from an employer, having a physical or digital receipt is essential. If the original from Costco, Best Buy, or a local restaurant is gone, making a replacement receipt that mirrors the transaction details is the next best step to ensure your financial house is in order.
Our "Make Receipt" tool is designed to be intuitive. You don't need accounting knowledge or design skills. Just plug in the transaction facts—like the date of your Uber ride or the items from your Home Depot run—and the system builds a formatted receipt that looks professional and clear. This helps avoid disputes over undocumented expenses.
Instructions
1. Enter the store details: Type in the name of the place where you made the purchase, along with its address. Even if it was an online purchase (like Amazon), listing the vendor's billing address helps validate the document.
2. Add line items: Enter the specific goods or services bought. Include the price per unit and quantity. If you bought 10 gallons of gas, list "10 Gallons @ $3.50/gal" rather than just "$35.00". Transparency is key for valid records.
3. Set tax and payment info: Don't forget the sales tax! Enter the amount paid in tax and the final total. Select the payment type (Cash, Credit, Check) so the receipt tells the full story of how the money changed hands.
