Using a cleaning receipt for an expense claim
The threshold is a number, not a judgement call. IRS Publication 463 (opens in a new tab) requires documentary evidence — a receipt — for any lodging expense and for any other expense of $75 or more. Below $75, and for non-lodging costs, a written record may be accepted instead, though most employers set a stricter bar than the IRS does.
The same publication sets out what that evidence has to show: the amount, the date, the place, and the nature of the expense. A cleaning receipt that records a total but not what was bought fails the last of those, which is why itemisation matters more on an expense claim than it does at the till. Check your employer's own policy as well — it binds you whether or not the IRS threshold does.
Cleaning receipt FAQ
How do I show recurring cleaning visits on a receipt?
Use a line item like 'Standard Clean' with the quantity set to the number of visits and the price set to your per-visit rate, or list each dated visit separately. Add extras such as deep cleaning or window washing as their own lines.
