Enter the payment details
Edit the text blocks for the receipt number, date, payer, amounts and what the payment was for.
The template includes amounts in figures and words. Check that the two values match before signing.

- Received from and received by
- Amount in figures and in words
- What the payment was for
Payment method
Select cash, check, card or transfer and enter the amount actually received.
The template does not calculate amounts. Check the arithmetic before signing.
Keep a copy
Give the payer the signed receipt and keep a copy with your records. IRS recordkeeping guidance lists receipts as supporting business documents.
Use a consistent receipt-numbering system if you issue receipts regularly.
