Using a parking 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 parking 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.
Parking receipt FAQ
What should a parking receipt include for an expense report?
An expense-ready parking receipt should show the facility name and address, date, duration or entry/exit context, the amount paid and the payment method. Most expense systems accept a clear PDF showing these five elements.
