Can You Write Off Bank Statements As Receipts?

Short answer: A bank or card statement shows payment but not what you bought; pair it with an invoice or a note of the purpose.

Business costs must be ordinary and necessary for your trade (IRC §162) and backed by records showing amount, date, and business purpose.

Records to keep: Keep receipts or invoices, proof of payment, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
