Hi there, @Libby walkmydog. Thank you for reaching out to the Community.
We're unable to import invoices to QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). As a workaround, you can enter your invoices manually.
Regarding the receipts, you can upload them individually using a JPG, PNG, or PDF file. QBSE can detect the date and amount of the receipt being captured or uploaded. Then, you're going to categorize it.
Here's how to upload it:
- Go to the Transactions menu and select Add receipt.
- Click browser or drag and drop the file from your folder.
- Select Upload.

I see that importing invoices will benefit other users too. I'll share it with our product development team.
I also suggest sending them feedback through QBSE. Here's how:
- Log in to QBSE and go to Assistant at the upper-right corner of the page.
- Type in "Feedback" and choose Add a feature.
- Enter your concern and confirm. I've added a screenshot for your reference below:

I've added this article you can refer to know more about managing your receipts in QBSE: Should I keep my receipts in QuickBooks?
Moreover, you can check out this reference that can be handy in the future about organizing your receipts or transactions: Categorize transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed. It contains details on how QuickBooks matches it to a line on your Schedule C.
If you have other concerns, please don't hesitate to get back to this thread. I'm always here to help. Stay well!
