I have been taking pictures of all expenses and properly categorizing but when I create a Profit and Loss Report the totals in previous months are not accumulating? What Am I doing Wrong?

My business card hadn't arrived in the mail before I needed supplies.

I am doing a car expense report and need to break out my PST and GST.There does not seem to be a report that does that so I am hoping to find one that will give me the gross cost with sub-totals and then I can fill in the blanks where relevant in excel. Is this possible?The only thing I can find/create is one where it might or might not have PST built in which does me no go. Any help greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

I do not want the average cost of my inventory items updating with each purchase of them from vendors. In preferences, under 'Items & Inventory' I set non assembly items as "never update item cost" but with each bill entered it updates the avg cost of the item. How do I set the program so that the inventory cost is never updated? I prefer to manually calculate inventory prices

I am using Quickbooks Desktop Premier.How do I track what I have paid against a purchase order to a Vendor?I have not been able to find a report, or anything related to giving this information.Trying to avoid overpaying on purchase orders or duplicate payments.There must be a way of seeing what balance is outstanding to a vendor for a PO. 

Hi - I work as a psychologist and, as I do the majority of my work virtually, I work out of my home (no other office).  Historically, we have written off 20% of home expenses that are also used for the running of my practice (e.g. utilities, some home repair, etc...) as that is the percentage of square footage of the home used for business purposes.  This will be my first year using Quickbooks Online and wondering if there is an automated way of entering the expense (a receipt for something related to home repair, for example) and Quickbooks automatically calculating the 20% towards the business.  The expense is sometimes being paid out of a personal account rather than a business account yet may also be paid for out of a business account. Can categories be created that automatically accomplish this task or do these expenses need to be entered as journal entries in the Chart of Accounts?  Thanks!

As a business owner, you may need to write cheques to pay bills or expenses. QuickBooks Online can help you write cheques and keep track of your expenses. Here's how to write cheques in QuickBooks Online:   Step 1: Create a new cheque Select + New, then choose Cheque. Choose the Payee from the dropdown menu. From the Bank account dropdown menu, select the account the cheque should withdraw money from. Complete any of the other cheque fields you need. Select the Print or Preview option if you want to open the cheque queue to print now. Or, select the Print later checkbox if you want to print the cheque later. Select Save and close to close the cheque window, or Save and new if you need to create another cheque. Note: If you choose a save option, this adds the cheque to your bank register, but only sends it to the print queue if you select Print later.   Step 2: Print the cheque If you have selected the Print later or the Print or Preview option, your cheque is ready to print

How do I rearrange the Vendor Information so that Invoices and Payments are shown together in date order rather than a list of invoices in date order and then a list of payments in date order.

Trying to do my expenses and it won't let me choose from any of my vendors first time this has ever happend

This is really frustrating - Class especially is very useful, so kudoes to QBO for adding this, but not being able to import Bills with this data is completely contrary to good data management. Big raspberry for that! This needs to be added to the import template, all it does is p*** people off and create a lot of extra work for absolutely no reason.

Hi everyone, my partner and I have recently established a catering/private chef company, we are using our own funds to launch the business and pay for any start up expenses with our personal credit card (to maximize points on credit card). I have been recording these transactions via journal entry debit expense account (fees, web design, start up costs, etc.) and crediting shareholder contribution. The costs and appropriate tax paid on business items (BC pst/gst) is recorded on this journal entry and each receipt or invoice is then attached. However the issue I am having is that the tax I have paid isn't showing up when I go into sales tax. Shouldn't it be recorded somewhere so I can claim ITC? Also we don’t have any revenue yet and are acquiring supplies and items.  Thanks so much,  Mike

Dear community members,I am learning how to record rent with GST in QBO for a retail store. I understand that when it sells products in inventory, it collects GST from customers and needs to remit to CRA later. In the case of paying rent $1000 with 5% GST ($50), I think we record $1000 in Rent Expense account. But in which account do we record $50? Also I hear from people that CRA will only give back a certain percentage of $50. How is the percentage determined for a small retail store? Could this ever be 100%? Thank you very much.

Widget 1 Profit and Loss: Expenses does not match the Widget 2 Expenses amount. There is a large difference. I have already checked that it is not open purchases orders affecting it.

I have a client who has the Esso fleet card for gas expenses for his business vehicles. I was wondering can we connect that fleet card to Quickbooks online so that whenever the monthly statements come in, we can directly import them and record the transactions.

I am categorizing everything from the bank feed, I create an "Other Current Liability" account and categorized all the pre-payments in this account but then when I create a monthly bill for example Chit Chats Express (like stamps.com prepaid shipping account) I enter end of month bill categorize as courier costs I am trying to match that bill to that liability account to offset the prepayments. * eBay account, we receive weekly payouts from our sales fees deducted but don't receive an invoice with fee/tax breakdown until end of month, so we have bank deposits that need to be matched with the gross sales and the monthly fees/sales tax deductions. * Expense Reimbursements Payouts - sometimes the receipts we are given are actually dated for many months even once in awhile a year+ old, what’s the best way to handle this. Previously in our old system I had a liability "slush" account I would enter individual receipts with their original dates then record the payout, any newly ente

HiI have created a new bill and entered  invoice amount and GST details to it.Then, I have updated GST amount, because I need to enter value with different GST percentage.After updating GST amount, the expense amount automatically updated with total of originally entered amount +newly entered GST amount.And that expense amount became non-editable. I have to update that back to originally entered amount.I believe there should be some settings which I might have missed.Please help resolving this issue. ThanksKamlesh
