this is for an S corp LLC. I use quickbooks online. Now have downloaded Quickbooks for business taxes and need to either create a W2 there for the whole year. Although I will have paid the taxes on the first 2 quarters. So I think if I set up a whole new year it will think I owe taxes for the whole year
cannot submit payroll online
So in the PayPal tab theres a bunch of sales receipts which is when the customer uses PayPal to buy a product on my shopify site.When I select all of those which are ‘received’ it totals $XXHowever when I go to the chase bank tab and select all the money received (which should be bundled payments) from PayPal it’s only $ZZ. The money regularly gets transferred to the bank account (bundled not individually) so I’m not sure how this doesn’t match. My initial thought was to exclude all the PayPal tab money received sales receipt and only record it in coming in the chase bank tab but its not matching up.
Since Quickbooks desktop is poorly programmed (or deliberately designed to be as slow and tedious to work with as possible, I honestly can't tell) and doesn't even allow basic tasks, such as importing subitems or payments through csv, I've been forced to write scripts to input these items. They had to be quite complex in order to be mostly fully automated. I would just like to thank the developers behind Quickbooks desktop for giving me this learning experience with scripting.
We recently moved to QBO from Desktop. In Desktop, we could print a report, Employee Time and Cost that would allow us to report the hours for our PEO to pay. After switching, we realized this report does not exist is QBO. It has been suggested to use the Time Activity Detail report but this report doesn't show if the employee work Regular or OT hours, so it's not very useful. For those that use a PEO (specifically Paychex), how do you report your hours?
I paid various vendors through their QuickBooks invoices and entered them in my QuickBooks online account with the appropriate line item numberHowever, when I pull Budget or P&L reports, none of the QB payments are listed.I obviously am missing some setting. All payments made via check, PayPal or ACH are listed correctly.All income received through QB payments also displays correctly.Thanks,Ingrid
Where can I check settings to have ship to addressed added back to packing lists? All of a sudden QBO stopped printing it
After I click the profile I get a link to open the profile, and I clicked it and just got a screen with the bookmarks on the left.
We use a third party app (Lawn Buddy) which syncs to our Quickbooks account. The first few invoices weren't recorded properly and now my tax liability report is showing $0 for those few customer sales when they indeed paid sales tax. Am I able to manually fix this issue in Quickbooks without adjusting the original invoice? We have since figured out how to record everything properly, I'm just wanting to make sure everything matches in our books.
To be clear the invoice is never being recieved by myself (send me a copy) or to the original emailed party.
I am working at a cafe as an accountant. I am planning to start preparing monthly financial statements. However, the previous years' records are not well-organized. I would like to begin by preparing statements for recent months. Could you please explain, step-by-step, how I can start this task?
I didnt recieve a reason just a denial
If it's doesn't work just delete my account
With the retirement of Tags, I am losing a required report - A Profit and Loss Report by Tag Group with the columns being each Tag and the rows being each Income or Expense category line item. I have not been able to find a way to replicate this P/L report using the Custom Fields. How can this be done? And a side question, I migrated by Tags to Custom Fields, but it appears that nothing actually migrated. All of my transactions that were tagged with a Tag do not now have that same corresponding Tag in the Custom Field. Surely I do not have to go in and manually redo every transaction? What is the point of the "migration" if that is the case?
The program does not appear to be generating a 941 Filing for me anymore. I can see my archived Filings, but it did not generate a Filing for Q1 of 2025, and I've searched the archive folder, and adjusted the dates, and still I cannot find a generated Filing anywhere. I pay my 941 taxes every pay period via the phone and then record the payment in QuickBooks Payroll Tax tab. This is the first time it has failed to generate a report. It did, however, generate my Q1 State Unemployment report, which is confusing that it would auto generate one and not the other. I have looked through my settings, and while Autopay & File is not turned on, there is not setting that should be hindering the programs ability to generate a 941 Filing. To be clear, I am not saying I don't know where to find the filing, I've used this program online for years and I know where the Filing is meant to appear, I am saying that the program failed to generate the Filing.
I am the main admin that's not the issue please help.
My printer is not responding to Quickbooks.
I work for two different divisions each week, and my Non-Profit board wants to see my payroll divided in the Report by Activities.
