Why tax time makes PayPal painful

Your tax preparer wants a clean record of income and fees โ€” but PayPal's activity export only covers recent months on open accounts, and everything else lives in PDF statements. Retyping a year of transactions is hours of work, and mixing up gross versus net income misstates your revenue.

The fast way

  1. Download your monthly statements from PayPal (Activity โ†’ Statements โ†’ Monthly).
  2. Drop each PDF into the Footed converter โ€” every transaction is split into gross, fee and net.
  3. Export to Excel or CSV for your preparer, or QBO/OFX straight into QuickBooks or Xero.

The built-in balance check verifies transactions add up from beginning to ending balance, so you can hand over numbers with confidence.

Deducting PayPal fees

PayPal fees are a deductible business expense โ€” but only if they're separated from income. Footed splits them out on every transaction automatically, which is exactly the format your Schedule C (or your accountant) needs.
