Why do I only see "Repair Costs" as an option, instead of detailed categories on the Expense Tracker dropdown menu?

Disclaimer: FlipperForce does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. This report and FAQ are for informational purposes only and should not be soley relied upon for tax compliance. Because IRS rules are complex and subject to change, we strongly recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional or accountant before making business decisions or filing returns.

Detailed categories only appear after you create an estimate in the Repair Estimator. Without one, the system defaults to a single "Repair Costs" category for all logged expenses. To fix this, load an Estimate Template in the Repair Estimator. This instantly populates the Expense Tracker with 40+ granular categories for more precise tracking.

The Categories on the Expense Tracker dropdown menu are based upon the categories you upload into the Repair Estimator tool.

If you have not created an estimate for the project, you will only see a single "Repair Costs" category.

If you want to breakdown your expenses by individual repair categories, you first need to go to the Repair Estimator tool and load in an Estimate Template.

Our Estimate Templates come pre-built with 40+ common Categories which will then be used to build out your list of categories on the Expense Tracker.
