Why Use Receipts?

Businesses are required to keep receipts for proper record-keeping in order to pay taxes every quarter or at the end of each year. In today’s environment, receipts are mostly stored electronically and the use of a physical receipt is only used when the customer does not provide an electronic option such as e-mail. A receipt must be given to a customer as a record of payment.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) – The IRS requires all profitable businesses to save their receipts for three (3) years. If for any year a business claimed a loss their receipts must be kept for seven (7) years.
