PatraX Category Sch C Line Why Manual Source Document What PatraX supports now
mortgage_int 16a Bank shows full payment — only interest is deductible Form 1098 (lender) Partial Add manual transaction + scan Form 1098 as receipt photo. Amount entered by user; app categorizes and applies rental-days % for Airbnb/VRBO.
vehicle_loan_intbiz_loan_int
16b Same — interest portion only, from year-end statement Year-end interest statement Partial Add manual transaction + scan the lender's year-end statement as receipt. User types the interest amount from the statement.
sep_ira 19 / Sch 1 L16 Brokerage transfer — not a deductible card charge Brokerage statement Partial Add manual transaction with contribution amount. No receipt required, but user can scan brokerage confirmation for records.
health_ins Sch 1 L17 Must confirm it's health premium; goes on Schedule 1, not Sch C Insurance carrier statement Auto if card If the premium is a recurring card charge, Plaid detects it as a transaction — user just assigns the health_ins category. If paid via payroll deduction, add manual transaction + scan insurance statement as receipt.
hsa Sch 1 L13 Requires Form 8889; contributions often direct transfer Form 5498-SA Partial Add manual transaction with contribution amount. User can scan Form 5498-SA as receipt for documentation. App tracks the category; Form 8889 still needed at tax time.
startup_costs 27a / Part V Sec. 195 election — $5k yr-1, rest amortized 180 months Own launch expense records Partial Individual launch expenses often show as card transactions — user assigns startup_costs category. Scan any non-card receipts. Amortization schedule must be done externally; PatraX sums the total only.
bad_debts 27a / Part V Accrual basis only — rare for gig workers on cash basis Client invoices + proof Not supported PatraX is cash-basis only. Bad debt deductions require accrual accounting. Edge case — not worth building for current user base.
home_office (sq ft) 30 Both simplified & actual methods need user to enter sq ft Lease / floor plan Full Settings → Tax → Home Office: user enters office sq ft (and total home sq ft for actual method). App auto-calculates the deduction — $5 × sq ft for simplified, or the % of rent/utilities transactions for actual.
Inventory (Part III) 33–42 Beginning & ending inventory not tracked in app Own records / Seller Central Not supported Purchases show as cogs transactions. Inventory counts (beginning, ending, shrinkage) are outside PatraX — user must track in Seller Central, a spreadsheet, or InventoryLab.
Vehicle info (Part IV) 43–47 IRS attestation questions answered on tax return PatraX mileage log as evidence Full Miles tab: user logs every trip (date, description, miles). App totals business miles — this log is the IRS-required written evidence for Part IV Line 47b. Yes/no attestation questions are answered on the return itself.
