Why don't my yearly totals for business spending match up with my Total Business Expenses in my reports?

I understand you've categorized transactions properly, @6023mann. Let's go over some information and steps to handle this matter.

Let's start by addressing the differences between the Business Spending at the top of the Transactions page and the Total Business Expenses in the report. The expenses on the Transactions page are based on your bank transactions, downloaded or manually entered. On the other hand, the Expenses section of the report sums up the total expenditures of your business alone. You'll want to review the period to get the correct comparison amounts.

The report should show the different categories you shared above. We can perform some troubleshooting steps to verify if this is the browser's issue. Use these keyboard shortcuts:

• For Firefox, press Ctrl + Shift + P
• For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N
• For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N

If this works, clear the browser's cache to start with a clean slate. You can also use other supported browsers as alternatives.

Furthermore, please know that the ones you generated also affect the categories shown. Here's an article to learn how Schedule C categories appear on Expense Category, Profit & Loss, Tax Summary, and Tax Details report.
