Sending an Invoice to someone through QBO for a reimbursement expense? How to get paid without hitting income account. Thanks!

Hello there, @JWREB.

Thank you for reaching out to the Community about the reimbursable expense as income in QuickBooks. Let me share some insight about the income account shown in the Profit and Loss (P&L).

The item on your invoice will serve as the basis for the income in the P&L. We can check each item if it's under the income account. Then, we can run the Transaction Journal to see the accounts affected. We can make changes when necessary.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Under Lists, select All lists.
3. Click Products and Services.
4. Choose the item you want to check, then click Edit.
5. In the Income account, see the account affected.
6. Hit Save and close.

But if you're unsure of the affected accounts, I'd suggest asking your accountant for advice. They can then assist and ensure you select the right one.

Once you receive the reimbursement, you'll have to record the payment so it marks the invoice as paid.

I'm always here if you need any more help in recording the reimbursement. Have a great day, @JWREB.
