PayPal + TurboTax: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your PayPal UK bank statement into TurboTax? PayPal uses DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS and multi-row layout where each transaction shows Gross, Fee, and Net amounts on separate lines with running balance — which needs converting to CSV (N/A — TurboTax is tax filing software. Use BankScan AI output as a working reference to complete income and deduction sections.) for TurboTax import.
How BankScan AI Converts PayPal for TurboTax
BankScan AI converts bank statement PDFs to organized CSV files that help you identify deductible expenses and verify income during TurboTax preparation. PayPal statements include a mix of payments, refunds, fees, and currency conversions. BankScan AI separates transaction types and preserves fee details.
How It Works
Upload your PayPal PDF
Drag and drop your PayPal statement. Supports PDF, CSV with DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS handling.
AI converts for TurboTax
Our AI parses PayPal's layout, converts dates to MM/DD/YYYY (for reference), and outputs CSV.
Import into TurboTax
TurboTax doesn't import bank CSVs directly. Use BankScan AI to convert PDFs to Excel, then sort transactions by category to identify deductible expenses for manual entry into TurboTax.
