# A simpler Dext and Hubdoc alternative for solo bookkeepers

ReceiptLine is built for solo bookkeepers closing a book of clients every month. Collect receipts over WhatsApp or the web, let AI read the merchant, total, date, and category, and hand off a clean monthly export — so you stop chasing paper and close the books faster.

## What you get

### Collect receipts on WhatsApp

Capture a receipt photo over WhatsApp or upload it on the web, so a client's receipt is logged the moment it lands instead of chased at month-end. You send receipt photos to ReceiptLine's WhatsApp number, and you link your WhatsApp in the app with a one-time code. WhatsApp capture is rolling out; web upload is available now.

### AI reads every receipt

ReceiptLine extracts the merchant, date, total, tax, and a practical bookkeeping category for you to review — so data entry stops eating your close.

### Close the month in one export

Download a clean monthly CSV of every completed expense, ready to drop into your ledger or hand to the client's accounting software.

## The rules ReceiptLine helps you stay ahead of

- The IRS generally does not require documentary evidence (a receipt) for business expenses under $75 — except lodging, which always needs one. (Source: [IRS Publication 463, “Travel, Gift, and Car Expenses”](https://www.irs.gov/publications/p463), 2025 revision)
- The IRS's baseline rule is to keep tax records for 3 years from filing — rising to 6 years if you underreport income by more than 25%, or 7 years for a bad-debt or worthless-securities claim. (Source: [IRS, “How long should I keep records?”](https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/how-long-should-i-keep-records), 2026)
- The 2026 IRS standard mileage rate for business use is 72.5¢/mile for January–June, rising to 76¢/mile for July–December — the deduction gig drivers and freelancers claim per business mile. (Source: [IRS, “Standard Mileage Rates”](https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/standard-mileage-rates), 2026)

## Questions

**Q: Who is ReceiptLine for?**
ReceiptLine is built for solo bookkeepers and accountants who collect and categorize receipts across a book of clients every month. It also works well for a freelancer or small-business owner tracking their own receipts.

**Q: How does WhatsApp receipt collection work?**
You send receipt photos to ReceiptLine's WhatsApp number and ReceiptLine reads each one into a categorized expense. You link your WhatsApp in the app with a one-time code that you message from your own number, so nobody else can attach it. WhatsApp capture is rolling out; web upload is available now.

**Q: Can I use it without WhatsApp?**
Yes. Sign in and upload JPEG, PNG, or WebP receipt images in the web app; that works today. WhatsApp is an optional second channel you link with a one-time code, and it is still rolling out.

**Q: How do I handle several clients?**
ReceiptLine keeps the workflow simple: capture receipts, review the AI-categorized expenses, and export a clean monthly CSV to hand off. If you run several clients' books, keep each client's monthly export separate for their records.

**Q: What does ReceiptLine extract?**
It looks for the merchant, purchase date, total, tax amount, currency, and likely expense category. You should review the extracted details before relying on an export.

**Q: What can I export?**
You can download a CSV for any month containing the date, merchant, category, total, tax, currency, capture source, and notes for each completed receipt — ready to drop into a ledger or accounting software.
