Bookkeeping categories

What category is Apple.com/Bill in bookkeeping?

Apple.com/Bill is usually categorized as Online Software. Even Margin suggests it and puts the charge on your review list, so you confirm it in one click.

What Apple.com/Bill charges are

APPLE.COM/BILL on a statement is Apple's roll-up for App Store and iCloud purchases. It names Apple, not the app you paid for.

How Even Margin categorizes Apple.com/Bill

Online Software. Suggested at medium confidence, for your review list.

  • Even Margin recognizes Apple.com/Bill on your bank transaction, using the merchant list its team curates.
  • It suggests Online Software, at medium confidence, because the statement line does not say exactly what was bought.
  • The charge goes to your review list, where you confirm the suggestion in one click or pick another.

When a different category fits

Once you know what a recurring Apple.com/Bill charge is, a rule on the merchant and the amount keeps it in its category every month.

  • An app that is really a course or a class can go to Training & Education.
  • Music, TV or games bought on a business card are usually Owner Draw / Personal.
  • A new iPhone or Mac comes from Apple's store and shows differently on your statement: Office Supplies & Equipment, or wherever your accountant keeps larger purchases.

Why doesn't Analytics say which app it was?

Because the statement line names only Apple. Analytics keeps Apple.com/Bill with the software it has not tagged by what it is for, and a rule on the merchant and the amount keeps a recurring charge in its category every month.

How do I find out what an Apple.com/Bill charge was?

Your Apple account's purchase history lists each charge with the app it was for. Match the date and amount.
