Schedule C Tax Export, Expense Log, and Job Line Items

Split a completed job into labor and materials, then — on Platinum — download a calendar-year CSV and PDF from Earnings and keep an expense log. This is bookkeeping for your records, not an IRS form and not tax advice.

Go to Earnings →

Not an IRS form and not tax advice

The export is a bookkeeping summary. Jobs count in the US Eastern calendar year they were completed, including unpaid jobs. Billed materials stay in the job total. Only the materials cost you enter, plus expenses you log, are treated as deductions. Hand the file to your tax professional — VerticalRent does not file Schedule C for you.

What is free vs. Platinum

  • Every plan: labor and materials on job complete, PDF invoices, and payment history on Earnings.
  • Platinum ($5/month): year CSV and PDF, plus the expense log on Earnings. Free vendors see an Add Platinum — $5/mo lock on that panel instead. First look on new jobs and identity verification stay Platinum perks as well — the 3% job fee does not change.

Labor and materials when you mark a job complete

On Mark Complete, the billed amount is still one job total. Under Labor and materials you can split that total:

  • Billed amount on each line — what the landlord is charged for that labor or materials row. Those billed amounts must add up to the job total.
  • Your cost on a materials line (optional) — what you paid for parts. It is not added to the landlord's bill. That cost shows up as a supplies deduction on the tax export.

If you leave the split blank, the job is stored as a single labor line. Completing a job still does not charge the landlord — see Managing Your Jobs: From Assigned to Paid.

Downloading the year export

On Earnings, choose a Year, then Download CSV or Download PDF. Both files include:

  • Gross receipts from jobs completed in that year
  • Platform fees (commissions and fees)
  • Supplies — logged supplies plus materials cost from completed jobs
  • Your other logged expense categories
  • Net (gross minus fees and deductions)
  • Each completed job, including unpaid jobs, with pay status

Payment history above that panel is still every completed job you have ever closed — it is not filtered by tax year. Details on payouts are in Getting Paid: Stripe Connect and the Platform Fee.

Expense log

Platinum vendors can add expenses for the selected year: date, category, amount, description, an optional receipt link, and an optional job. Remove a row any time. Categories are:

  • Car and truck
  • Supplies
  • Insurance
  • Legal and professional
  • Office expense
  • Rent or lease
  • Utilities
  • Advertising
  • Other expenses

Logged supplies are combined with materials cost from jobs. There is no AI categorization of vendor expenses.
