Do I need to give customers receipts for tax purposes?
Receipts are not always required, but they help with customer trust and record accuracy.
You want to keep checkout simple but also stay compliant. Customers sometimes ask for receipts, and you are not sure what is expected.
Most states do not require a printed receipt for every sale, but many vendors provide digital receipts through their POS. Receipts help customers with returns and help you document sales if questioned by tax authorities. For larger transactions, offering a receipt is a good best practice.
Use a POS system that can email or text receipts and keep the transaction log for your records. Offer receipts on request and use a simple sign that says "Receipts available." This balances speed with strong record-keeping.
