Using a towing 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 towing 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.
Towing receipt FAQ
Can I bill mileage?
Yes — set the quantity to the number of miles and the per-mile rate as the price; the line total multiplies automatically.
Can I add storage fees?
Yes, add daily storage as its own line item along with the hook-up and labor charges.
