Expense and receipt scanning

Record the repair.
Keep the receipt.

Upload the receipt for a plumbing repair. Check the vendor, amount and date, choose the rental and category, then save the expense with its receipt for reporting.

Start in Expenses, then enter the repair and attach its receipt before saving.

AI-read receipt details need review. Saving an expense records the cost; it does not initiate a bank payment.

One repair, one complete record

From a plumbing cost
to a saved expense.

Follow the repair from the amount you paid to the receipt you can find again.

  1. Enter the repair

    Record $245.00 for plumbing materials. Check the date, select 410 Maple Court and choose Repairs as the account category.

  2. Attach the receipt

    Open Notes and receipt and add the repair receipt. Review any AI-read vendor, amount and date against the original.

  3. Find the saved expense

    Save the entry and return to Expenses. The paperclip shows that the receipt stays with the recorded plumbing cost.

The receipt stays connected

Keep the proof
with the property.

A phone photo or PDF invoice brings the vendor, date and total into view. Receipt scanning reads the details and keeps the original attached so you can return to the source.

  • Capture a receipt photo or upload a PDF invoice.
  • Check the suggested category and property before approving.
  • Correct any details that do not match the receipt.

Receipt scanning uses the files you provide. It does not pull transactions from your bank.

You approve the entry

The category is a suggestion.
The review is yours.

Repairs, Utilities, Insurance, Supplies: choose the category that fits the expense and check the property it belongs to. A suggestion becomes a recorded expense only after your approval.

If the receipt is unclear, enter the missing details yourself. Confirm the rental even when a property is suggested from an address on the receipt.

The same record, ready for reporting

See the repair cost
alongside rental income.

Approved expenses are grouped by category and property. Follow the plumbing cost into the property's profit-and-loss, then use the recorded details in your year-end exports.

By property and unit

Keep each rental's income and expenses together in a current property breakdown.

Schedule E

Categorized expenses feed a Schedule E summary for review, with the original receipts retained with the expense.

Ready to export

Export the ledger as CSV or a QuickBooks Online journal-import file.

Accounting reports and exports require a paid plan. Schedule E is an estimate for planning; review it with your tax professional. See plans and fees.

Before you start

Expense tracking
questions.

What can I scan?

A photo of a paper receipt, a screenshot or a PDF invoice. Rentari.ai reads the vendor, total and date from the file. Review those details against the receipt before approving the expense.

Where does the expense end up?

In your accounting ledger, tagged to a category and a property. From there it feeds your profit-and-loss and Schedule E, with the original receipt kept alongside the expense.

What if it picks the wrong category?

Change it before you approve. Categorization is a proposal you confirm, never an automatic write, so your books show the entries you approved.

Categorise a receipt.

Describe an expense, or upload a photo of the receipt. The AI maps it to its IRS Schedule E line.

Nothing here is saved, sent or charged, and no real tenant, applicant or vendor is involved. It runs the same models the product runs, so it is rate limited per visitor.
