Default Receipts for taxes

Anyone know if I need to keep print-outs from when I bought tickets online,
or is it enough to have the receipt that comes attached to the boarding
passes as long as it lists the price?

If no one knows, I can always ask on the TaxBrain chat when I'm filing.

TIA for any info

What taxes for tickets bought online?
If you are referring to a tax deduction for a qualified deduction or
business expense, then an email receipt might do, but I would feel
better keeping an "official looking" document, like the kind I can get
out of the kiosk if I ask for a duplicate receipt. ALternatively, my
credit card statements show the airline information, with flight
numbers, etc.

Are you talking about keeping receipts for business travel that you can
deduct on your taxes? If I were you, I'd print out the receipt screen when
you buy the tix. It usually has all pertinent info.
What do you think of Taxbrain? I've been using TurboTax for years, but
it's kind of a hassle sometimes.
