How can I split an expense? Can I split it between multiple businesses or clients?
Updated this week

There are certain situations in which you may need to split your expenses. These include:

  • A single purchase that includes both business and personal items. For example, if you have an Airbnb that you rent out for part of the month and you live in for the rest of the month, you can split your cable bill between business and personal expense categories.

  • A single purchase that includes items that fall into multiple business or multiple personal expense categories. For example, if you place an online order that includes supplies for your office, but also business gifts for your client, you can split the expense between multiple business expense categories.

  • A single purchase that is for multiple businesses and/or clients. For example, if you go to a home goods store and purchase items to stage a home for your real estate business and also purchase items for your rental property, you split the expense between your two businesses.
