QuickBooks Q&A
Recently active
We are using QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop 24. For 2025 we are making many changes to our chart of accounts. After the new accounts are entered, we will need to go in and update all of the items COGs accounts and Income accounts. Is there a quicker way for this process than editing the items one by one?
I have an existing vendor, City of Madison Wisconsin. Now I have done work for it but can not create an invoice since your system says the Name is already in Use. How can I bill the City??
I use the desktop version of QB and with the upgrade to 2021 I am no unable to drill down on P&L statements to get to the detail of the balances. It used to open a general ledger. Is there some setting that I changed causing this problem?
I am using QBO Advanced and have completed several online backups with no issue. I now want to do a local backup and that seems to fail. I am an admin, I linked my google account, scheduled a local backup, 'next run' filled in correctly but later in the day, both 'last run' and 'next run' were empty implying no backup. If the backup did execute where would it place the csv file on my google drive? What am I missing, insights appreciated?
I am reviewing the transactions by vendors list. If the expense is paid by credit card, the expense shows up as a postive number. If the expense is paid by checking account, it shows up as a negative number. How do I fix this? A snapshot is attached. Thanks.
I have a new construction client who is currently using subcustomers to job cost in QBO. What are the main differences, advantages/disadvantages between using subcustomers vs projects for larger construction jobs? Spaning multiple months, $100k+. Is it worth converting the subcustomers to projects?

I invoice using line items, the column is not there to choose from when invoicing. How do I know it's going to the right account?
I accidentally created a bank register under the wrong company file (realized this after I was all done with it) and need to move it under the correct company. Is there a way to do this or do I need to go to the correct company and recreate the bank register?I am using quickbooks 2016 pro desktop
Our non-profit runs a food bank and 2 thrift stores - all in one company file. We are struggling with separating taxes, since the 2 stores are different zip codes and rates. Can Location tracking be useful here? What we see now is the way to set sales tax using our Business Address - but that seems improper. Our business address doesn't sell anything - it is the non-profit office address. The sales tax is collected at 2 different locations with their own tax code. Please, help. I can't believe this would be something new to solve.
My subscription for QB Desktop payroll ends on 12/15/2024, but I still need to print 940's and W-2's. The payroll update is ciritical as it will not e-file 2024 year-end forms until Intuit updates. Will I lose my access to these forms before I can print them? I'm retiring and will not process payroll for 2025.
Here is my problem.I have trying to build an assembly. When I enter the assembly it shows the list of parts and quantities required to build this assembly. All good. When I enter the number of units, the quantities change to reflect the number of assemblies to be built. All good.I will not have enough parts; e.g. a shortage. So, I ask for a shortage report. I would expect that the shortage report will show a list of parts needed to build this many assembly items. Instead, I get a single item report showing my assembly item and the shortage required - not the list of sub-assembly parts required to build this many assembly items.What the? This has worked in the past. Not sure what changed or what I did wrong.Any ideas what is going on?Thanks,Phil PS> I am using the cloud-based QB Enterprise 2017 version.
When selecting bills to pay, when you have many invoices and need to scroll up and down, the curser jumps around rather than staying on the line that you want to pay. I have tried clicking on different spaces on the line, in line with the amount but it true when reconciling.
I'm trying to use subcategories for expenses, and I can't find them when I try to categorize transactions.
We are wanting to make a purchase order that will populate all parts that are below reorder point for a specific vendor. Please advise on how to proceed.
I tried to enter payroll tax rates for 2025 and I am not seeing the option or correct year for the drop down menu. I have tried twice to have support call be back and still have not received a call back. Any other WA state businesses having this issue?
When setting up an auto loan, do I include the amount financed or the total sale price including interest and taxes?
I would like to run a report showing a particular Employee and just the dates that he used Paid Time Off (PTO). I can run the report showing all the pay periods for the year, but I have to scroll through and write down all the dates on which he took PTO. I would like for the report to just show the dates he used PTO. Is this possible? Thank you.
I'd like to run my W-2s for 2024, but we are still waiting on a Payroll Update for year end with my Desktop subscription The forms section says to expect this mid-December. Am I missing something?
Why can't I change my address
I have had QuickBooks Online for over 4 years now. I run a home improvement company. Up until a few weeks ago, l've been able to edit estimates that I have started on my computer (I have to do it on the computer if I need a deposit from a customer since the deposit function is not available on the app). Well now, I am completely unable edit estimates entirely that were first created on my computer. Every estimate that needs a deposit, l've started on the computer first and then was able to edit and add things, including the deposit amount, through the QBO app. I can't edit estimates at all now on the QBO app that were first created on the desktop version on my computer. I've updated the app, restarted my iPhone, I have cleared the cache on the app and nothing is changing. Please help!
Hi All, Anyone can advise how do i post a short selling of stock in QB inventory? Truly appreciate of any input on this subject.
So we are getting a message to "Get payroll updates" When we go through this process it seems like it is updating but when it finishes the same date will still appear? This has been an ongoing issue for 3 months. Countless hours going back and forth with tech support. If we enter and run payroll for next week it will not take any taxes out of employee checks. I believe the last time this happened we had to run the database utility in single user mode which took us over 5 hours. Why is this happening and what is the fix? Having to do this every month should not be the option!
