QuickBooks Q&A
Recently active
I entered timesheets with hours going to specific classes (we use classes for our project tracking...used to be Desktop user, recently migrated to QBO). When we ran payroll, the time did not get charged to those classes and was not represented on the class P & L. Help!
Does anyone know if it is possible to create the General Journal Entry file on a Windows QB Version and have someone with a MAC QB Version import the file? I have a restored company file on my Windows Desktop QB version and want to send Journal Entries for the client to import on their MAC Desktop QB version. Thanks
I have a client who I review quarterly. He sent his accountants review, as he was using Quickbooks desktop. I made my changes and went to his location to import the changes into his Quickbooks desktop. Without consulting me he changed to Quickbooks Online,
I have recently stepped into handling the accounting through QB Online for our small business. I'm trying to determine if I need to set up an EFTPS account, and the CEO is not certain whether he previously did this. Does anyone know whether QB uses EFTPS when filing federal withholding? If they do, that would answer my question, and I'd be able to check that reports and withholding are being filed in a timely manner. Thank you.
I would like to add a column to the Spreadsheet Template to reflect one of my custom fields. I would like to add a column to the Customers Template. I tried to follow what little information I found online (Optional) To create and edit transactions and their custom fields, select Select custom field columns. This will also allow you to add the transaction to the template. I can't find the "Select custom field columns".The sheet is protected? Is this the issue? it asked for a password and I tried both my QBs password and my Microsoft password. I am running QBs Online Advanced. Thanks,Elizabeth

The "Edit Item" window will not allow me to resize it. It is much larger than it needs to be and I do not know how (or why) it resized itself to begin with.
How do I find a W-2 form for one of my employees from 2014?
From time to time, I have to pay another guy to do some work for me when I'm overloaded. This would be a 1099 situation (that's a subcontractor right?) so should I just create an expense account called "subcontractors" or something like that?
Hi all. I've recently acquired the bookkeeper position at a company and I need help with a reporting issue when running payroll. There are two different chart of accounts that were set up, one called the "cookie jar" and one called "payroll". Only one is linked to the bank account for payroll, however, if you do not change the "pay from" account when running payroll it automatically pulls from the one marked "cookie jar". How can I get rid of that account so that it does not show up anymore? When I update bank accounts it pulls the bank transactions over to the "payroll" register but it doesn't show up as direct deposit payroll because those are linking in the other register. I do not even know if I'm explaining this correctly because it's all so confusing. Hopefully this will make sense to someone who can help. Thanks so much!
Can QBO handle fund accounting for non-profits?
I switched my client to QBO with Elite QuickBooks bill pay in August. They are a fairly large non-profit with a good amount of a/p. Here is my problem. They deduct the money for the bills that I pay from my account when I pay it. When a vendor doesn't receive payment, I have no path to see if the check cleared the bank. I have called QuickBooks and talked to 2 reps yesterday and 1 (for over 2 hours today) and they keep telling me that can't tell if the check cleared. This would be a 2 minute issue if we were still on Avid or I cut the check myself. Here are the different things I have been told regarding finding out if a payment cleared:1. most commonly that they don't have this information, all they have is the expected deliver date and they can't help me.2. I called w/ 3 checks today. They were unable to find 2 of the 3. Voided one, which I still can't reissue until possibly tomorrow. Told me that after 2 hours they cou

We use QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions Manufacturing and Wholesale 24.0. We have a brass item that we bring in raw. That item is then sent out to one vendor for them to cut it in various ways. One is a bell, one is a beer tap, another is a bottle opener. They send it back to us transformed. Sometimes we also send those items that are transformed to a second vendor to be powder coated. These are in as a service right now. We ended up setting up the initial system having the raw brass item in the build for all these different build assembles that go on to make a final product. Then we have the services listed as well in the build along with another inventory part that goes into the assembly and packaging. Tracking this way doesn't allow me to know how many bottle openers or bells I can make because it's counting all the raw brass items as the same. Is there a way to transform them when we send it out to the new part they become for the build so I can know how many bo
I can’t preview and print my invoices. When I click the preview button it acknowledges that I have selected it and it does nothing.
I've been trying to create a new Purchase Order but still when I choose a Supplier, the purchase order that I created under that supplier and the items and amount still appeared even when I closed that purchase order.
My consulting business is LLC filing as S. Just me and my wife as owners / employees. We pay ourselves monthly, billing our clients bi-weekly. We have no need for additional owner equity. We'd like to end the year with $0 in the bank, but practically that's not possible since we have to run payroll 12/31 to pay ourselves for December. So we accumulate customer payments in December for a paycheck in January.But on December 31st of 2023, we ended the year with more money in the bank than required. This was attributed to us on the K-1 and was taxed on our personal returns. I want to withdraw this money from the account before the close of 2024. How do I record the transaction so that it's not taxed again?
I used HELOC funds to purchase a company vehicle. The bank gave me a Cashier's Check directly from the HELOC funds, funds were not deposited into business checking acct.I will use company funds to pay back the HELOC. ( I have already made a couple of payments but I have not entered anything in QB yet.)I do not know how to go about posting the transactions.Also in reading Q&A's about vehicles "loans", I'm supposed to make a depreciation acct and I am not sure what that is about or how to do it. Thank you helping me.
Hi, We have a server and 3 workstations that use POS v19. We had an internet problem last week and was able to get 2 out of the 3 working and communicating with the server. For some reason, the 3rd computer won't connect. I specify the server name and company name that is on the other 2 and it doesn't connect. We've had IT guy out here, and he updated QB, Windows, verified the connection and firewall settings are the same on all 3, but can't seem to figure out why the 3rd computer won't connect. We also tried deleting the files in the C:\ProgramData\Intuit\Entitlement Client\v8 folder, as per an article I read here, as well as renaming the WSActivity file in C:\ProgramData\Intuit\QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale 19.0\Ini. Nothing worked. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello! We currently use Quickbooks Online Pro. We want to implement the ability for a customer to sign a document digitally, be it an estimate, contract, etc. I looked into Docusign, but we would need to upgrade to the Advanced version. We just upgraded to the Pro, and financially we can't go up to the Advanced!Any suggestions how we can add an e-signature for customers without having the Advanced version? Thank you!
