We can change the number format in your QBO, Br Mike.

 

The decimal point is set as default in the program. You can change how the amounts are displayed by adding a separator.

 

Here's how:

  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Under Your Company, select Account and Settings.
  3. Click Advanced on the left panel.
  4. Click the pencil icon in the Other preferences section.
  5. Click the drop-down arrow beside the Number format section.
  6. Select how you'd like the numbers to show.
  7. Click Save and Done.

If you have follow-up questions on this, please let me know. I'll be here to answer them for you.

Hi thanks for swift reply and your recommended solution.  We bill for call charges. As an example our "rate" is 2.3 cents per minute but the "amount" comes out rounded flat 2 cents per minute. On 500,000 minutes we have just lost, $150 USD any further suggestions mostly appreciated to display correct rate of 2.3 cents and not, 2.0 cents?

      where and for what?

       

      rate is a function of total sales price / qty, you can not change any decimal that is the result of the math.

      Yeah, this is very frustrating when integrating 3rd party products and is shows the amount of hours worked as 85.4589 hrs. My customers have issues with it and always ask why they are being billed with decimal fractions. lol I wish there was a way to at least drop the last 2 digits and round up.

      Hi all.  Not sure how to post a new question. But I want input an amount into my register without having to use the decimal point. Right now it's automatic. How do I change to what I'm used to from previous versions. I have QB for Mac 2021.  Thanks, John

      Glad to have you here in the Community, @JFazz.

       

      Let me help share some information about decimal places in QuickBooks.

       

      At this time, QuickBooks Desktop can only show two decimal places. We can't change the decimal places because the field only accepts two decimal places. Please see attached screenshot.

       

      I've seen similar requests from other customers about the ability to change decimal places in QuickBooks. I'd suggest you also send a feature request about this. The more requests we receive about a specific feature, the more likely it gets implemented.

       

      Here's how you can send feedback:

       

      1. Go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.

      2. Click Product Suggestion.

       

      I'd also encourage you to check out our Firm of the future site to get you in the loop about the latest news and product enhancements.

       

      Let me know if you have additional questions about QuickBooks. I'm here to help.

      It's good to see you here in the Community, @mary156.

       

      State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rates must be entered as a percentage in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I'd be happy to guide you through the steps in setting it up correctly.

       

      1. Sign in to your QBO account.
      2. Click the Gear icon, then select Payroll Settings.
      3. Select the State Tax.
      4. Go to the State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) Setup section.
      5. Choose Change or Add new rate.
      6. Refer to the notice from your state and enter your new rate. If the rate is provided as a decimal, you must enter it as a percentage. (For example, enter 1% not 0.01).
      7. Enter the Effective Date provided in the notice from your state.
      8. Click OK.

       

      If you aren't sure about the SUI rate, I recommend contacting your state's unemployment division to confirm. 

       

      I'm adding this article for more guidance: Update your State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate in QuickBooks or Intuit Payroll.

       

      You might also want to learn more about the payroll tax compliance in each state. This article will provide the links for your state to find details on tax forms, withholdings, unemployment, and other tax, e-file, and pay information: Payroll Tax Compliance Links.

       

      Please let me know if you need clarification about changing the SUI rate. I'll be standing by for your response, @mary156.
