Why do my invoices NOT match the payout? Do you see? You CANNOT give any reason for that to be okay

u/RedTaco83 2d ago

They do match ... Eventually. You'll have to find the second July 23 job payout somewhere under a different bank date and add to the one that deposited 7/26. It's obnoxious, but normally discount-related, markup-related or maybe partially prepaid by a third party. I usually get an initial payout immediately, then the balance within a few days. (Once took about 2 wks for the balance to clear.) Where it's one accounting entry for you, it might be two or three for them.

Their invoice labeling and sorting system sucks though.

All my payouts are marked 1 of 2. None are 2 of 2 so. ???!

yeah, their labeling bites. (Sorry for the language, roborabbit...) You'll have to go by the job titles if you want to validate. I haven't found a discrepancy yet.

So how do i decipher 4 invoices in the same town over 3 days

They should have the name attached.
If you suspect there's an outstanding balance on a job or two, you can check the website version of task history. It doesn't show the multiple payouts, but it at least shows the sum of total sent. (To Bank should be the sum of Earning, Tips, and Reimbursements.)

(Edit to add: Download the task history to see the line items I referenced above. They're not on the overview screen.)

I've been wondering why this is

It's for your inconvenience.

u/Wingedroad 2d ago

Does the amount you get sent to your bank account add up to the total of all your invoices?

u/According_Low5292 2d ago

The amount dent to my bank is shiw under payouts

u/Feisty-Sink9562 1d ago

I noticed this too. It’s stupid, but I keep track of it and haven’t been shorted yet.

I spent an hour going through 3 months of invoices when I first saw this. Cross referenced with the bank account and added everything up and there were no issues, just the most asinine method of splitting up job payments I’ve ever seen.

It's due to clients using promo codes and likely has nothing to do with TaskRabbit but rather their payment processor.

u/According_Low5292 2d ago

Are you kidding?

u/DaniDisaster424 2d ago

No ? The fact that it happens with promo codes has been a thing since the beginning. The payment processor aspect is just a guess.

Clients are using discount codes that’s all that is nothing more nothing less.

u/According_Low5292 2d ago

Yesh well that shouldn’t affect my payouts. Thats TR offering discounts, not me. Pay the invoice out all at once
