Question

I entered amounts paid by employees as expenses but they should be liabilities. Is there an easy way to switch/change them? Thank You.

Hello crystal-c2coachi,

 

Welcome to Community!  When an employee uses their personal funds to pay a business expense, you can record the reimbursement as a cheque or expense, so your accounts remain accurate in QuickBooks Online.  I would be glad to assist!

 

When creating the reimbursement, it's essential to select the appropriate accounts, so your books remain aligned.  Here's a helpful guide for your reference.  To make changes to your entries, you can open your list of expenses, and make the necessary changes within the original transaction.  To review the list, open +New and choose Expense, then click on the history icon in the top left, scroll down and open View more.  In addition, you can go to your Chart of accounts, and select Account history.  Locate the expenses you need adjust, and select Edit to open the original transaction.  If you've invited an accountant to your books, I suggest reaching out to them to reclassify the transactions for you.  They'll be able to accomplish this as a batch, and save valuable time.  If you don't have an accountant, we can help you locate a ProAdvisor in your local area.

 

Feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions. We would be happy to help!
