How do I split a receipt that has multiple categories on one receipt?

The Split Expense tool breaks a single receipt into multiple categories like plumbing, lighting and paint, and distributes sales tax across the line items automatically.

Whenever you go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a bunch of materials, you often buy materials that belong to different categories.

For example, you may have bought plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, tile and paint all on one receipt. Technically those materials all need to be categorized differently.

Instead of entering all of those expenses separately, the Split Expense functionality lets you break down a receipt when you have multiple categories on one receipt or invoice.

Sales tax splitting

Sales tax was always an awkward item to categorize. Previously you had to divvy up the sales tax and try to evenly distribute it across all of the items on the receipt.

Now you simply enter the sales tax amount on the receipt and the Expense Tracker automatically distributes it evenly across all of your expense line items.
