Or do I have to just do the best I can this year and make sure to put everything in next year?Hi there! I completely understand the struggle of keeping track of expenses, especially during tax season. The good news is, you can definitely go back and add expenses into PP. Simply log into your account and click on the "Expenses" tab. From there, you can add in any expenses that may have been missed. It's always a good idea to keep track of expenses throughout the year, but don't worry, it's never too late to add them in. Happy tax season!
