As an independent contractor offering rideshare it is inconvenient and time consuming to stop and return home for meals, yet it is also a financial burden to not be able to deduct those cost while earning and income. Often many miles from home...?
Hello, My name is Rachel Mahrle, owner of ProfitNet, LLC and Advanced QBO Pro. I attended QBConnect last year for the first time and LOVED it....and have recently started hearing about the Scaling New Heights conference in Salt Lake City, UT. Have any others attended? Is it worth the cost? I would be flying in from Detroit, MI to attend :) Thanks All!
1) difficult to read font on mobile. It looks like it’s Grey we out and as thin as you can make it, which makes it very tough to read.2) The login screen within a login screen. Hard to figure out on a desktop and almost impossible (again) to see on the mobile login screen: when I click on “Log In” (and not “sign up”) every other website on the planet takes you to the screen where you enter you username and password. On QBcommunity if you enter those credentials you’ll create a new account - or get an error that your username is already taken. You have to click on the Log In button (on the desktop) or login link (in mobile) to get to the actual login screen. Very Inception - a login within a login.3) Badges. Some work. Some don’t. Some did, some never have. Especially the first three should work - and they don’t. Kind of sad, because I bet we all have added our website to our QB profile pages.So dear QBmasters can we have these 3 issues fixed pretty please? For the new year. Would be ni
When the 9 to 5 grind gets to be too much and you feel like your talents are just lining someone else’s pockets, the best thing you can do is break away and start your own business — at least that's what Lottie Hadwen says! Lottie wasn't content with a stable job in a local salon, so she used her formal training and social media savvy to set up shop as a mobile makeup artist. While she continues to build a strong customer base in her local area, she's also working on branching out by creating a line of her own cosmetics. We chatted with her about the business of beauty and why she thinks it's important to follow and network with the *right* kind of people for your business.

You can convert any company file to a Mac version from a U.S. version of QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Premier Accountant Edition for the same year as your version of QuickBooks for Mac or the two previous years. In other words, if you have QuickBooks for Mac 2019, you can convert your file from QuickBooks for Windows 2017, 2018, and 2019. Before you start, be sure that you are familiar with what data is converted from QuickBooks for Windows to QuickBooks for Mac. Data that is and is not converted from QuickBooks for Windows to QuickBooks for Mac Although Intuit has used reasonable efforts to include all features affected, Intuit disclaims that all features are included in these lists. Be sure to compare the newly-converted data with the original data to learn what data was not converted. Data that is converted from Windows to Mac Account list (chart of accounts) Customer list Vendor list (notes will not be converted) Item list Payment terms

Juggling a full-time job and a side-hustle? It’s not easy, we know. You’ve probably fantasized about ditching the daily grind and working strictly for yourself. Question is, exactly when is the right time to take that plunge? After all, it’s a huge decision, one that impacts everything from your schedule (hello, 24/7/365), vacation time (goodbye, PTO), family life (deadlines always happen when your kid is home sick!) and, of course, your financial security (or, ahem, the lack of it). We’ve rounded up some tidbits of advice from other QB Community members who, like you, have wrestled with when to go all-in on their part-time gig. We hope sharing their wisdom and experience will help you determine the perfect time to start working for yourself. Know thyself (and thy willingness to work for others) Sometimes, the decision to leave a conventional job boils down your tolerance for doing things someone else’s way. Consider what motivated these QB Communi

We have recently upgraded our production system to Action Flow. It is not an accounting program so we are keeping QB for that side.

I use Quickbooks Desktop for Mac. My client uses Square as their POS, and those deposits are imported by me from their bank into my QB desktop. This is a candy store, not everything is taxable, and there is no breakdown from Square to their bank detailing how much of that deposit is tax collected. There are multiple locations, so a there is huge number of deposits per day from Square. How do I set up paying sales tax in this scenario given that I will not know the total of sale tax that is part of those sales deposits? I'd appreciate any help!
Hello - Our S-Corp passed down about $60,000 to us. We W2'd ourselves $20,000. When applying for the EITC does the $60K count as earned income? In the same respect, when applying for the Saver's Credit is it just my AGI or does earned credit factor into it too. Thank you
Can't believe this product does not have a calculator for commissions. Even worse, the work around, Acc Settings, Advance, "CATEGORIES" suggested does not exist. Any that can help track sales and pay commissions would be most appreciated
I m in construction and started using QB a few weeks ago. I do expense contractors under contractors classification in QB, but what about raw materials? I use the 'COGS' classification for those, since there is no Inventory per se. Is this correct? The home construction process is a long one, consists of mainly contractor and raw materials expense, in the end an inventory of one home is sold. I use QB online.
Hello - We're an S-Corp. This year it passed down $60,000 to us. We also W2'd ourselves $20,000. What is our maximum SEP contribution for his year? $5,000 or $20,000? Thank you

Hey there everyone, I have company i keep books for and had a quick question. The shareholder of the company loaned 60k to the business in december 2017 to cover last minute expenses, and paid back the 60k in January when he received payment from a job. The he loaned money to the company again in December of 2018 to cover expenses. Would the loan amount from 2018 be entered into the loan account i have set up from the previous year (2017) where the 60k was entered and paid back, or do i create separate accounts every time the shareholder loans money to the company? Looking for a bit of help, thanks in advance!

As a recent treasurer,using QB desktop Premier for Non Profits, I f ind our cash and fund accounting has been adequately managed through using bank sub accounts identified as temporarily restricted and non restricted. A new accountant has directed the use of equity accounts to replace thie bank sub accounts and I am trying to determine how to best track transactions through our system when QB registers are primarily bank registers.
