How do I submit claims?
When you connect your personal accounts to Alice, we'll look for possibly eligible transactions. When we find these, we'll text you to confirm they were for commuting related to getting to and from work.
You have two options to confirm your purchases and submit these as commuter claims.
- You can reply to the text with a simple response "yes" or "no"
- When you reply "yes", we'll make sure you save on the income taxes related to this purchase, right in your paycheck!
- You should reply "no" if this wasn't for commuting, or wasn't related to your commute to and from work.
- You can log into your Alice Dashboard to review the purchases we've found, and confirm them!

No problem! First, check on all the purchases we did find by viewing your spending.
- Click on "See more" next to "Spending"
Review the purchases here that Alice has already found. If you still don't see a transaction on this list, check to see how long it's been since the purchase was made. Banks can take several business days (up to a full week) to send purchases to Alice. If it's been more than a week and we haven't found your purchase yet, please submit a "Missing Transaction".
- Scroll to the bottom of your "Spending" page.
- Click on "Submit missing transaction"
- Fill out the form here, and then hit "submit expense"
