We have a vehicle allowance that is, of course, taxable income. How do I enter business mileage and tolls in QBO to reduce the taxable amount reported on the W-2? Every answer I am seeing online discusses various ways to track the expenses for the accountant to then generate the W-2s. But, QBO is going to generate the W-2s and there must be a way to adjust what is going to get reported vs issuing a W-2c. A call to QB was not helpful as the accounting unit said that it is a payroll question and transferred the call to payroll who argued that is an accounting questions and then ultimately argued that it is my a question for my accountant who said that it is a software question. Am I the only one in the world with vehicle expenses to essentially take against a vehicle allowance?

Hey there! Get ready for another exciting round of our Top 5 questions series. This time, we're diving into the world of Paying Taxes. If you've ever wondered how to fix incorrect sales tax, how to go about adding a new location that's not in your state, or how to enter your sales tax, then this one is for you. So keep on scrolling below! 1. Sales Taxes is incorrect in my QuickBooks Online account, how do I fix this? Let’s take a look at what could be going on! QuickBooks Online automatically calculates the total sales tax rate based on your customer's sales tax-exempt status, the location where you sell/where you ship, and your service or product's sales tax category. The total sales tax rates are the sum of state rates and local rates, including the city, county, and/or district rates. We can create a sales tax adjustment to record credit to match the sales tax payment. To do this, you'll need to create an account for the adjustme
I am new to the QB system and I am trying to understand how the QB internal defaults work. For example, is there a table that I can see where all the transaction default accounts are setup? Can any of the routing be changed by the client or QBA? For instance, I can tell by reviewing the Transaction Detail by Account, which I sorted by Transaction Type, that all Bill Payment (Check) transactions are credits to Checking and debits to Accounts Payable in the Sample Company. Is there a place I have access to that shows where this routing is located? Perhaps in QuickBooks Advanced? I'm trying to gain an understanding of what customization, if any, is available. Thanks for your help!

I have made some Quantity on Hand adjustments for year-end inventory and now would like to print off a report or summary showing the item and its variance, with total dollar adjusted amount. Is this possible within QB Manf & Wholesale 24.0? Thanks!
Windows 10 is scheduled to lose support in October 2025. Everyone will be forced to upgrade to Windows 11. But Windows 11 will not work with QB Pro versions older than 2021. I still use QB Pro v. 2019 and it works great. I have a small number of clients and I dont want to buy Intuit's new expensive subscription based software. To make matters worse Intuit isnt even going to sell QB Pro after July 2024. New users will be forced to buy the Enterprise edition or use QB online. Should I keep QB Pro V. 2019 going on an old desktop using Windows 10 and buy a new computer with Windows 11 for banking and everything else? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I would like to set a specific job code to be used in only increments of 4 or 8 hours - how can I do this? Thanks!

I would like to help my dad setup a QBO for his woodworking business that he owns and operates independently. He has never used a bookkeeping software or service. He also does not have a history of cleanly maintaining an online record of business transactions and financial statements. I am considering to purchase live expert help to construct historical financials for his business and to establish a baseline for bookkeeping moving forward. Is this something a QuickBooks advisor can help with? What is the minimum documentation (e.g., tax returns, bank statements) that QuickBooks advisors need to provide this requested support? Do advisors have experience working with business owners who do not have a history of maintaining online bookkeeping records?

How can I create a report that shows sales that includes by Job Type? I know how to filter by Job Type, but I don't want to filter I want to report the Job Type so that it shows as a column heading. For example, if I have residential, commercial, and retail job types I would like to report what last year's annual sales was for each job type. Thanks!
I want a listing of all the classes. How do I print? In Reports / Lists there is no option for Class List.Under the tab Class in the Class entry, the display says to use Reports / Lists.Another QB endless loop.
Desktop- Assisted Payroll. Employee and Employer portions are suppose to show up in box 12DD. Quickbooks can only manually make the employer portion show up in box 12DD. After research it appears the only way I can fix this is by manually editing the W2's. This suggestions of other q.b. experts. This is our first year end with QB. How do I edit their W2's to include the employee and employer portion before Q.B. prints our W2's? Do I go to Payroll Center-- File Forms--Annual Form W-2/W-3 Wage and tax statement and click ok on 2024? Again, I am just nervous with the fact I have assisted payroll and if I can even complete this here. Q.B. customer service has been zero help. I greatly appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Using QB Desktop 2024 Enterprise Contractor edition. After entering all payroll details, I am unable to click "create paychecks" on the final payroll screen. If I de-select direct deposit, then I am able to finish and create paper checks. I have spent several days troubleshooting and even uninstalling QB from my desktop. When I did that I was able to process one payroll with direct deposit but then it does the same thing again. My QB is up to day and I have all the payroll updates applied. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
I have the most recent update, 22501 released December 19, which lists Washington tax rate changes for 2025, but those rates are not reflected in the payroll items list.
