Using the Receipt Vault

Scanning Receipts

From the Tools page, open Receipt Vault and tap "Scan Receipt." You can take a photo or choose from your gallery. The system uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to automatically extract the merchant name, amount, date, and other key details.

Categorization & T776 Lines

After OCR extraction, the system suggests the best matching CRA T776 line number category (e.g., repairs → Line 8960, insurance → Line 8690). You can accept the suggestion or change it manually. Once categorized correctly, your expenses map directly to the T776 form at tax time.

Sorted by Property and Year

The CRA generally requires you to keep tax records for at least 6 years. Receipt Vault sorts your receipts by property and year, so they are easy to find when you need them. Paper receipts fade and get lost; keep your own copy of important receipts too.

Search & Filter

Search receipts by date range, T776 line number, amount range, or keywords. During tax season, you can quickly export a summary of all receipts for a given year.
