Replace your lost receipt
Did you lose your receipt for a purchase you need to track? Use this template to reconstruct the expense for your records. From freelancers logging deductibles to corporate employees justifying per diems, keeping track of every scrap of paper is a challenge. Our receipt maker allows you to generate a compliant, professional replacement when the original is nowhere to be found.
Whether you need to replace a lost gas receipt from Shell or Chevron, reconstruct an Uber or Lyft trip summary, or document a client meal at a local restaurant, accuracy is key. Unlike generic notes or handwritten affidavits, a structured receipt provides the clarity auditors and finance managers look for. You can replicate the look of thermal receipts, invoices, or standard sales slips, ensuring your documentation remains consistent and verifiable.
Instructions
1. Enter the store details: Input the business name, full address, and date of service. If you are recreating a taxi or ride-share receipt, include the pickup and drop-off locations for completeness.
2. Add line items: Detail exactly what was paid for. For a gas receipt, enter the gallons of fuel and price per gallon. For a supply run at Home Depot or Lowe's, list the materials. Clear, itemized descriptions prevent expense reports from being flagged for "insufficient info."
3. Set tax and payment info: Add the correct tax lines and gratuity if applicable. Indicate the payment type (e.g., "Debit Card," "Cash") to match the transaction record on your bank statement.
Versatile tools for modern needs
Our receipt maker isn't just for lost records. It's also a great tool for small business owners who need to issue professional receipts to clients on the fly. You can save presets for your own services, making it easy to generate bill of sale documents whenever you close a deal. Designers and marketers also use it to create realistic props for photoshoots or UI mockups.
Legitimate record reconstruction is a standard accounting practice acknowledged by the IRS (under the Cohan Rule), provided the expenses are real and estimates are reasonable. This tool facilitates that process by giving you a structured format to present your reconstructed data.
