Bookkeeping & Expenses

Tracking Expenses

How to add expenses manually or by scanning receipts.

Every time you spend money on a rental property — a plumber, new appliances, property tax bill — you should log it as an expense.

How to add an expense

  1. Go to Bookkeeping in the sidebar
  2. Click Add Expense
  3. Enter:

- Property — which property this expense is for

- Category — repairs, insurance, property tax, utilities, etc.

- Amount — the dollar amount

- Date — when the expense occurred

- Vendor — who you paid

- Description — what it was for

  1. Optionally upload a receipt photo
  2. Click Save

Receipt scanning

Instead of filling in all the fields manually, you can scan a receipt:

  1. Click Scan Receipt instead of Add Expense
  2. Upload a photo of the receipt
  3. Domara's AI reads the receipt and extracts the vendor, amount, date, and category
  4. Review and confirm the details
  5. Save

Tips

  • Log expenses as they happen — it's much easier than trying to reconstruct everything at year-end
  • Keep receipts — upload photos so you have digital backup if you ever need to prove a deduction
  • Categorize accurately — proper categories make your tax reporting much smoother
