Paper Copy of Receipts

I am doing the bookkeeping for an information technology business and i don't even know the best way to document purchases made on the internet. Should I make a paper copy of emailed receipts? Would you just save the emails? Or save the document in a special "receipts" folder on the computer? What has worked well for you clever people out there?

Hi Sandy,

Thanks for your question regarding receipts.

I have always printed a copy of my emailed or online receipts for the files. However, with everything these days going more green, I think it makes perfect sense to save the document in a special "receipts" folder on the computer. Just make sure to stay up to date on your backups! :)
