QuickBooks Q&A

I'm trying to match the budget on Quickbooks to the terms we now use on our Excel-based working budget.

I showed an invoice paid. It is not paid.
We have a small engineering practice and use QuickBooks Online for general accounting and invoicing. Most of our projects are either fixed fee or are billed hourly with a fixed maximum fee. Is it possible to enter the fee into QuickBooks as a data field as opposed to simply adding as a note for the project? We want to be able to (quickly) check status of open projects to see how much fee remains to be invoiced on each one. It would be ideal if we could generate a report showing status of all projects. Is this possible? We are a small firm but do about 350 projects a year and at any give time may have 100-200 projects which are open, so manually checking the notes on each project is very time consuming. Thanks in advance!
I manage very few credit card transactions and they are all handled exclusively through QB Payments with no website e-commerce. QB is trying to tell me that I'm not PCI compliant and they want me pay SecurityMetrics to verify my compliance, but the PCI website says I can self-assess using SAQ-A and an AOC. I don't know how to submit this to QB without using the 3rd party. The QB TOS do not mention anything about verification or certification. They just list the actual 12 requirements that constitute PCI compliance, all of which I meet or are N/A. Frankly, this all feels quite scammy?
I transferred funds between 2 bank accounts using a check and a deposit transaction. These transactions show up as income and expenses on the P&L. I would like these to come off the P&L as they are not income and expenses. I know I can do this using Transfer Funds but a check was physically written and a deposit made at the bank, so how can I record this without deleting the check and deposit and also not recording as income and expense?
I was excited to see that there's now the ability to send a bill payment stub with bills paid. However, the standard template doesn't meet our needs and I need to customize the form. The bill payment stub template doesn't have buttons for Additional Customization or Layout Designer so I'm unable to make changes to the template.Please help.
How do I set up for electronic filing but sending paper check for payment
I've spent the better part of today diagnosing this issue. This has something to do with Quickbooks (I've tested this issue on QB 2022, 2023, and 2024) and our company file. When I go to generate an invoice that has billable items (time or expenses), and I click "Create Invoice" there is a delay that wasn't there when running on Sonoma (and I have also tested this with the same company file on an older macbook pro running Sonoma 14.7.1). However, the bigger issue is that when clicking ok on the "Choose Billable Time and Costs" dialog (regardless of whether anything is chosen) results in a "spinning beach ball" for about 25-30 seconds. There is no difference if any billable time or expenses are selected. Then, when I go to email the invoice, I hear the "cha ching" (as though the invoice was created/added) but then it says "The Operation Could Not Be Completed" and the invoice is not actually created. It seems like it may have something to do with the Quickbooks Payments functionality, b
Is it possible to match a credit card transaction to a po through bank feeds?
I am unable to contact Quick Books via the Chat, it will not let me type anything in the questions box. I am using Quick Books Desktop Enterprise Contactor 2024. I have cleared the cache and tried a different browser.
When running the statement of cash flows reports, the net income defaults to accrual rather than cash, and so it does not match the total income from the Profit and Loss report. When I change the detailed report to cash, it will not refresh and does not update any of the information. If I run a Net Income Detail report separate from the Statement of Cash Flows, it will match the Profit and Loss. Please advise on how I can change the Statement of Cash Flow Income to Cash versus accrual.
I opened by bank reconciliation on my QB MAC desktop 2021. It froze. Now I can't check off any items or reconcile it or close it.
I looked over some paychecks and noticed that Oregon Paid Family Leave for employees stopped calculating in 2025. I looked at the payroll item list and the limit was raised to $176,100.00 and the rate (amount) stayed at 1%. Why is this no longer calculating on my employee's paychecks? All payroll update have been done. Please help. Thank you!
is there a way to disable the payment processing box from always being checked when recording a credit card payment. we do not use the intuit merchant service integrated into QB. We only use QB to record payment receipt.
Transactions from certain categories always need to have an invoice or receipt for tax purposes. I'd like to generate a report that shows me all transactions for most categories with no attachment (meaning there is no invoice or receipt). This report should show transactions across all of my accounts. I will then find the receipt or invoice and attach it each transaction.
is there a way in QB online to pull from a p and l all unreconciled items during a time period? for ref in the desktop version the lighting sign was imported which converted to check mark once reconciled

I have selected Federal Unemployment on an employee's payroll information when our company does not do that. I have already paid the employee and ran it through quickbooks and now it shows that i have to pay the 940 Tax. I am wanting to fix that to where i don't have to pay the tax and repay the employee what is owed.
I am trying to email paystubs to employees from QBO but there are no options for emails. The only option is to print. How do you email paystubs?
How do I change an existing chart of accounts account type from expense type to other expense type. I get a warning that says "You cannot change the type of an account that is associated with a 1099 category. To change the type of this account, you must first delete it's association in the 1099 preferences. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using Quickbooks online. Why won't the VENDOR account numbers print on my checks? I have account numbers enabled and the account numbers are in the vendor profile.Thank you
when a customer pays there invoice through quickbooks with a credit card is there a way to pass on the processing fee
I am looking for help setting up in QB Pro 2015 a new van that we purchased. We did a down payment (2 checks actually) and financed the rest. I am not a bookkeeper and get confused and the debit and credit answers. I went to set up a fixed asset account and the first part asked to categorize it as income or expense. Not sure which to choose. Then I need to set up an account for the loan amount. Should it be a loan account or a long term liability account? And do i include the amount financed or the total amount with the interest costs? Where do i account for the deposit on the van? One was for $1000 and one was for $9000. I posted them temporarily in the fixed asset area, but not sure if that is correct. (I can always change it) I have set up other loans but not sure that i have done it correctly. We dont do depreciation thru QB. Our accountant and tax preparer does that when we do our taxes. since
