Using Enterprise 23.0. I attached all of my invoices and supporting documents to my accounts, vendors, and customers for each transaction.  When I shared my backup file with my accountant, they said that none of the documentation was attached to the file.  How do I share my Quickbook file and all supporting documentation from the transactions and document center with my accountant?

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

 

I'll share some information on how attachments work with regard to the backup feature.

 

Currently, QuickBooks doesn't include attached documents when you create or share a backup file. In your case, you'll need to make a copy of the Attach folder which can be found in the same location as your QuickBooks company file. Then, you can send the backup file and a copy of the Attach folder to your accountant.

 

You may want to learn about QuickBooks Document Center. You can check out this article: QuickBooks Document Center: FAQs and common issues. This includes troubleshooting steps for common issues like missing attached documents, issues with scanning or attaching documents, or being unable to email transactions or send forms.
