A receipt IRS (Internal Revenue Service) refers to any documentation that provides evidence of your business expenses. These receipts are necessary for tax deduction purposes as per the IRS guidelines. They can come in various forms such as invoices, cash register tapes, credit card slips, etc., and can be physical or digital. It is crucial to maintain these receipts as they help to accurately report your expenses on your tax return.
