Key takeaways
If you use Keeper to track business write-offs, you can link it directly to your Capital One account for automatic scanning of bank statements. If you prefer to download your statements as a spreadsheet, log into Capital One on a computer, view your account, and download transactions as a .csv file. However, using Keeper simplifies this process by automatically categorizing your transactions without needing to download or upload anything.
Step #1: Log into Capital One on a laptop or desktop
You’ll need to go to https://www.capitalone.com/ and log into your account. Unfortunately, neither the app or the mobile website for Capital One allow you to export your statements. It has to be from a computer.
Step #2: Click on “View Account”
You’ll need to do this for every account (ex: checking, credit card) you’d like to scan for tax write-offs.
Step #3: Click on “Download Transactions” and choose these settings
Only .csv files are supported by our import feature, and you’ll want to make sure to include the entire date range of transactions you’re looking for.
Then, select the appropriate download settings:
Don’t forget to include the whole date range of transactions you would like us to scan!
Click done, and the file will be downloaded to your computer.
