Every way to find your Shell receipt
1. At the pump
- When the pump asks Would you like a receipt, choose Yes.
- If the pump is out of paper, note the pump number and go inside.
2. Inside from the cashier
- Give the cashier your pump number, the approximate time, and the card you used.
- They can usually reprint the transaction receipt.
3. In the Shell app
- If you paid through the Shell app or Shell Pay, open the app and view your transaction or payment history.
- Select the fill-up to see and save the receipt.
Paying through the app is the most reliable way to keep every fuel receipt automatically.
Paying in the app keeps receipts automatically
When you pay for fuel through the Shell app, each transaction is stored in your history, so you never rely on a paper slip. For anyone tracking fuel for taxes, this is the simplest way to keep every receipt.
If you pay by card at the pump, the printed receipt is your only itemized record, so capture it right away.
A card statement is not enough
A bank or card statement shows the amount and merchant but not the itemized fuel purchase, and the IRS expects the actual receipt for a documented expense. Keep the pump or app receipt, not just the card charge.
Keeping fuel receipts for taxes
If you drive for work and use the actual-expense method, fuel is deductible and each receipt counts. If you use the standard mileage rate instead, you deduct miles rather than fuel, but you still keep a mileage log. Either way, capture fuel receipts as you go so nothing is missing at tax time.
Good to know
- Pay through the Shell app so every fuel receipt is saved automatically.
- Pump out of paper? Note the pump number and the cashier can reprint it inside.
- A card statement is not an itemized receipt, keep the pump or app receipt for taxes.
