Overview

Every bag of flour, roll of parchment, and box of cake boards is a business expense — and tracking them all year means more deductions and less stress at tax time. Knead’s Expenses tool keeps a running record of what you spend, sorts it by category, and feeds it straight into your Profit & Loss report and Schedule C worksheet.

​
Where to Find Your Expenses

Tap Expenses in the sidebar to open your expense list at /expenses. The page is titled “Expenses” with the subtitle “Track what you spend so tax time isn’t a scramble.” If you haven’t logged anything yet, you’ll see a “No expenses yet” message with an Add your first expense button. The Expenses list showing dates, vendors, categories with COGS badges, and amounts

​
Adding an Expense

  1. From the Expenses list, tap Add Expense to open the form at /expenses/new.
  2. Set the Date — it defaults to today.
  3. Choose a Category from the dropdown (placeholder “Choose a category…”). Categories that count as cost of goods sold show a (COGS) suffix.
  4. Enter the Vendor (placeholder “e.g. Costco”).
  5. Enter the Amount — the field shows a $ prefix.
  6. If this is a payment to a contractor, check the Contractor payment (1099-NEC) card.
  7. Add a Note (optional) if you want a reminder of what it was for.
  8. Tap Add expense.

Pro tip: Skip the typing entirely — tap Snap Receipt at the top of the form to photograph a receipt and let Knead fill in the date, vendor, amount, and a suggested category for you.

​
Editing or Deleting an Expense

Tap Edit in any row of the list to open the expense at /expenses/[id]/edit. Make your changes and tap Save changes, or tap Cancel to back out. To remove an expense entirely, tap Delete and confirm “Delete this expense?”

​
Filtering Your List

The expense list has two filters at the top: All months and All categories. Use them to narrow down to a single month or category — handy when reconciling a statement or reviewing one type of spending. The list columns are Date, Vendor, Category (with a COGS badge where it applies), Amount, and Edit.
Good to know: All of your expense data feeds the Profit & Loss report, the Schedule C worksheet, and the Contractors page. The more consistently you log, the more accurate those reports are.
