My school just upgraded from older QB program to QB online.  Older QB allowed us to run a transaction statement that included the school's EIN (tax ID number).  I went to Settings>Custom Form Styles but there is no field for Tax ID.  Any suggestions?

Glad to see you here in the Community, @SusanQ1.

 

I can help you add the tax number of your school in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To add the tax number, I'd suggest adding a custom field on the Invoice page. Then, you'll have to manually enter the tax number in the custom field every time you create an invoice.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under Your Company, select Custom form styles.
  3. Click the New style button, and then choose the Invoice.
  4. Select the Content tab.
  5. Click the Header part on the sample invoice.
  6. Go to the +Custom field at the bottom.
  7. Enter "Tax # of our School" as a custom name. Then, make sure you put a checkmark in the box.
  8. Click Done.

You can also check out this article for more details on how to customize invoices in QBO: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts.

Leave me a comment below if you have other questions. I'm more than happy to help. Take care!

Thank you for your response.  I see how the tax ID can can be added to an invoice but I need to add it to the customer "statement" in QBO.  In the old version of QB, I ran a "transaction (or account ?) summary" that provided a list of child care charges and payments for each family.  This form was used for reporting child care expenses on their tax returns, which explains why it needs to include our tax ID number.

Thanks for the clarification, @SusanQ1.

 

As of now, the option to add a tax ID field in your customer statement is currently not possible in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

As a way around, you can look for a third-party app that lets you customize your customer statement. You can go to the Apps menu in your QBO account and look for an app from there.

 

I can see having this feature is beneficial to your business and to our other users. Rest assured our Product Developers are always looking for ways in enhancing QuickBooks. This way, our users such as yourself can work with your business seamlessly.

 

In addition to this, I’ve added this link that you can utilize in case you need to import your own template to your account: Import custom form styles for invoices or estimates.

 

If there’s anything else you need help with your account, you can always get back to me. I’ll be around to help and assist you. Have a good one!

I am having the same issue.  I need to be able to send year-end statements to families for childcare expenses.  Do you have suggestions for specific apps for this?
