QuickBooks Q&A

I am using Quickbooks online. I want to pay multiple bills to one vendor and display the details of each bill on the stub part of the check.  I cant seem to do it. If I put the details in the memo section it does not display on the check stub. I need to tell the vendor which bills they are getting paid for.  Can someone help me.

I am using Quickbooks online and I am new when using this version. All my services are listed but when I "Add a Bill" and try to select one of my services all I get is a plus sign under "Item Details" and I cant select any of my services. Can you help me figure out why my products and services are not displayed when I create a bill?

I pay commissions to multiple vendors at one time through one bank transaction and have found that it is easier to key the vendors through a journal entry than to create an expense for each.  However, after doing this for the first time I have noticed that the expense is not showing up in the vendor details.  These payments have to be tracked for 1099 purposes.  Will this method not work?

I just reopened a Quickbooks Payments merchant account connected to QBO invoices. The current default for Payments on invoices is "off", and I have to turn on Payments for each individual invoice.  Is there a way to change the default for Payments to be "on"?

How do I get past Error 15271?  I logged out and logged in as Administrator and then went to Payroll and selected Get Updates. It said I have the most recent version and to update again before 1/21/2025 (it's 1/24 today!!).  When I go to Pay employees, it still says I haven't updated in over 33 days!!!  If I try to do payroll, it does no calculations for taxes whatsoever.  This keeps happening when I need to update and because of its frequency as well as the exorbitant prices Intuit is charging to payroll processing, I may just hire a local payroll company.   How do I get this stupid thing to update?

How do I create the w2report text file for Missouri in Quickbooks Desktop. I can't find this anywhere.

If a customer pays in cash but my business checking account is online only and does not accept cash, could I just deposit the money in my personal account. Then just transfer it to my business checking account and label as cash payment?

I'd really like to know when I should start condensing my data. Hope someone can help

Currently there is no way to email a contractor so they can verify the info on their profile is current and correct. There is only the option to email on initial set up, once the profile is set up, the option to email a contractor is gone. Information changes and contractors need to be able to update their info...and I need to be able to invite them directly from QBO to make those changes. Why isn't this an option??

I am getting Unknown client-specific tax form printing error 900 when opening my quarterly Tennessee unemployment form.  I just completed federal 941 with no problems.  I've followed all the online instructions I can find, and nothing seems to help.  I filed my last quarter Tennessee UI with no problems. When following instructions I've already uninstalled a bunch of apps that I thought might be conflicting, uninstalled C++ redistributable, etc.  Don't know what to do next.

We have a contractor who is a teenager who made between $400 and $600 in 2024. The IRS threshold for minors to file a 1099 is $400, but the QuickBooks threshold seems to be $600 for all contractors. How can we file this person's 1099 if QuickBooks doesn't recognize him as reportable?

this is a nightmare

 Bank says credit card is good. I cannot pay intuit. I updated address. Intuit still shows old address. This is not good.

We purchased material from a vendor with our bank account for a job and had to later return some of the material because it was wrong or not needed.  The original purchase was recorded in QBO as an expense and applied to the job it was associated with.  How do I enter the return, so it shows a credit to the bank account, a return/credit under the vendor, deduct the material cost from the job it was associated with, and reflect a deduction in our Job Materials in the Chart of Accounts.  I have tried multiple things, but it is not affecting everything I need it to in QBO.  Please help!!!

I work at a property management company and we have multiple properties in QuickBooks for accounting purposes. I recently set up a new company and, after I print a check, it is automatically printing a check copy on check stock and I cannot find how to make it stop.  Please help .

Using Desktop version with Enhanced Payroll. I want to verify that I have e-filed my W-2 forms with the SSA. I have not been yet set up to e-file with the IRS. (In process) But it says I do not need to register to file with the SSA. I choose to e-file the W-2s and it seemed to work. But I have no way to know that the info went to quickbooks and then on to the SSA.

When my company goes to email out an invoice, we always had 3 options: 'save and close', 'save and new', or 'save and share link' but recently, on completely random invoices, it will only have 'save and new' or 'save and fund'.  What is the 'fund' part about?  We do not have our bank accounts set up through QuickBooks so I'm not sure what it's trying to tell us or prompt us to do.  Its not on every invoice either, its completely random so we will click 'save and new', go back into it and now the 'save and fund' is no longer an option.

I own a small repair shop.  We fix and sell vacuums.  Use an 50 year old register with input options of sales, parts, labor and wholesale. Then options of attained or charge. And then a received on account button. 95% is attained and then just a few company's charge. The customer either pays with cash or credit card. The register doesn't record How they paid only if they payed or if we will bill them. So for each transaction we don't show if it is cc or just cash. At the end of each day we batch out and the credit card zeros out and goes to the bank. Then once a week I make a deposit of cash and checks and zero out the register. So I don't know how to make all the individual payments match up with the income accounts (sales, parts etc). The initial walkthrough generated 3 of the income fields for me and I added wholesale.  But do not understand how to match these 5 daily credit card deposits and weekly cash/check deposit with these. Do I not keep track of the categories

Hello,I am using QB Time to sync with QB Online Plus.In QB Time, the service line item is synced to the service line item in QB Online. No issues with syncing.In QB Online Plus, all items are showing up correctly in the time entries. No issues with syncing. Once I create an invoice and 'import' the time from the time-associated-pop-up that shows up on a client invoice that has 'open time'... the import goes smoothly for all columns EXCEPT the 'Service' defaults to the 'hours' standard default instead of syncing the appropriate service.In the example attached, the 'product/service' should be 'Bluum (Frontend)' with a rate of '75'.Instead, I see 'Hours' with a rate of '0'. Please note, I do not use the default 'hours' service in any of my invoicing. Each client has a specific product as this is a consulting business that sells 'time' as a service. This is incredibly frustrating as the only way to 'fix' this issue is to manually override each entry line... which defeats the

In QB Desktop, is there an AP report filter that will let me filter out bills that have future payments scheduled? Or is the only option to set the date of the report to a date after the latest scheduled bill payment? I'm trying to run a list of open bills that shows bills without payments in the pipeline. 

After installing that update QB Enterprise on my computer will not print a PDF. Error:  Missing PDF component    QuickBooks detected that a component required to create PDF files is missing. This may cause issues with printing transactions, emailing forms or saving anything as a PDF file inside of Quickbooks Desktop.  Cannot reinstall the Microsoft XPS Document Writer or Microsoft PDF.  Anyone else having issues???? 

My form 941 for 4th Qtr is including a voided payroll check when calculating wages?  I duplicated a payroll check which then lead me to overpay payroll liabilities.  I realized this and voided the payroll check.  Still have an overpayment on tax liabilities obviously that i cant undo.  But why is QB including that voided wage check on my 941 on line 2?  And what do I put in line 3?  the amount i paid in federal withholding or the amount I should have paid?
