FAQ: Why didn't my eReceipt generate?
There are several reasons an eReceipt may not be generated for an expense:
- This is a lodging receipt, for which eReceipts are not generated.
- The transaction is over $75.
- You have imported your card via a spreadsheet or OFX file. We can only generate eReceipts for directly connected cards/banks.
- Your card/bank connection is broken.
- Your connected card/bank is outside of the US.
- Your Policy Admin has disabled eReceipts within the policy settings. Note: If you're sure this is not the case, make sure to check that you are using the correct policy. Click our user icon at the top left of your account and then confirm your policy under the Use this Expense Policy section:

Does using the "Expensify Card" increase this $75 limitation?
NVM. Per IRS 463 documentation is required to support expenses for items, other than lodging, over $75.

Hi @Sdeforest,
The Expensify Card purchases will provide an eReceipt for transactions over $75.
However, the IRS limitation for tax purposes requires the actual transaction receipts for purchases over $75.
You may want to also discuss this with your hired tax professional.

Is there a way to allow e-receipts for transactions over $75? Realistically, all of our company's invoices will exceed this amount. If we can not have the invoice attached, this feature would not be of use for us.

Quick note here: The Expensify Card will generate eReceipts for purchases over $75 but only for certain merchants (based on MCC code).
They are:
- Airlines
- Commuter expenses
- Gas
- Groceries
- Meals
- Car rental
- Taxis
- Utilities
