An expense report documents business costs paid by an employee, owner or contractor and requests reimbursement where appropriate. It is also a control record: the organization can confirm the business purpose, accounting category, sales tax, funding source, approval and any amount charged directly to a corporate card.
The generator is free and runs on the client side. No account is required, no files are uploaded, and the report has no ads or watermark. PDF, Excel and CSV exports are created in the browser.
A useful report records the amount, time, place and business purpose of each expenditure. Travel entries should identify the destination and dates; vehicle entries should show each business use, mileage and destination. Prepare the record at or near the time of the expense and keep receipts, invoices, canceled checks or equivalent documentary evidence.
Under an accountable reimbursement arrangement, expenses must have a business connection, be adequately accounted for within a reasonable period and any excess advance must be returned. Amounts that are not adequately accounted for can be treated as wages. A clear company policy should state submission deadlines, receipt thresholds, permitted classes of travel and approval authority.
The optional 2026 business standard mileage rate is 72.5 cents per mile for a car, van, pickup or panel truck, including eligible electric and hybrid vehicles. A taxpayer may instead use eligible actual vehicle costs, but the choice and substantiation rules matter. Business parking and tolls may be separately deductible; ordinary commuting is personal.
A mileage log should show the date, business destination, purpose and business miles, plus annual total mileage where required. The mileage template calculates the selected rate but does not decide whether a trip qualifies.
Federal per-diem rates depend on destination and travel date, so there is no single nationwide amount to hard-code. Enter the rate approved by your organization or the relevant GSA/IRS schedule. Business meals are commonly subject to a 50% tax deduction limit even if the employer reimburses the full approved amount.
Personal extensions, companion travel and entertainment should be separated from ordinary and necessary business expenses. If a trip is partly personal, document the allocation rather than placing the entire booking on one reimbursable line.
IRS Publication 463 generally describes keeping records supporting a deduction for three years from the return filing date, with longer periods in some circumstances. Vehicle basis and depreciation records may be needed throughout the recovery period. Employers and regulated or grant-funded entities may impose longer schedules, so follow the longest applicable rule.
