How to Find Your Staples Receipt

Short answer: For online orders, sign in to Staples.com and open Order History to view or print the receipt. For in-store purchases, the receipt is saved to your account if you gave your Staples Rewards number or email at checkout; open your purchase history there. Otherwise the store or customer service can look up an in-store purchase by the card you used.

Staples keeps records of purchases connected to your account, which is handy since office supplies are one of the most common freelancer deductions. Whether you can pull the receipt yourself depends on whether the purchase was linked to your Staples Rewards account. Here is each route.

Every way to find your Staples receipt

1. Online orders (Staples.com)

  1. Sign in to Staples.com.
  2. Open Order History (Orders) from your account.
  3. Select the order to view, print, or download the receipt or invoice.

2. In-store purchases via Staples Rewards

  1. If you gave your Staples Rewards number, phone, or email at checkout, the purchase is tied to your account.
  2. Sign in and open your purchase or rewards history to find the in-store receipt.

3. Store or customer service lookup

  1. If the purchase was not linked, visit the store or contact customer service.
  2. Provide the card used and the date so they can locate the transaction and reprint it.

Staples Rewards ties your purchases together

A Staples Rewards (or Staples Business) account links your in-store and online purchases so they appear in one history and earn rewards. Giving your number at the register attaches the trip.

A business account is worth setting up if you buy supplies regularly, since it keeps your receipts organized and separates business spending.

Returns

Within the return window, Staples can usually locate a purchase from the card used or your Rewards account. Bring the card and, ideally, the receipt on your phone.

Keeping Staples receipts for taxes

Office supplies, printing, ink, and small electronics bought for your business are deductible, and the IRS expects the itemized receipt. Staples receipts are itemized and easy to save.

Capture each business purchase when it happens and file it under office expenses or supplies, so the deduction is documented and ready at tax time.
