You can log the date, category, description, amount, and notes for each expense. The category column uses a dropdown menu linked to the summary tab, helping you keep your records consistent and organized.

Automatic Tax Deduction Summary

The Category List & Summary tab automatically updates as you enter monthly expenses. This gives you a clear yearly overview of your tax deductions by category and by month.

All amounts are calculated automatically, so every new entry updates the summary in real time. This helps you quickly see where your money is going and how your expenses change throughout the year.

Customizable Expense Categories

The template includes common business expense categories such as office supplies, travel expenses, advertising and marketing, insurance, vehicle expenses, rent or lease, utilities, internet and phone, software and subscriptions, maintenance and repairs, salaries and wages, professional services, meals and entertainment, shipping and postage, bank fees, taxes and licenses, training and education, office equipment, fuel, and miscellaneous expenses.

You can edit the category list to match your own business, industry, or personal tracking needs.
