QuickBooks Q&A
Recently active
I am trying to file my VAT return for the first quarter of 2025 (Jan 1 through 31st Mar). I notice however that on the list of previous returns that my previous return has the incorrect start and end dates. The previous return covered the last quarter of 2024 (1st Oct through 31 Dec) but it on the VAT screen in QB it is showing 1st Jan 2025 to 31st Mar 2025. When I submitted the return I received the correct dates on the QB confirmation email and my HMRC account shows it was submitted for the correct period. It just seems to be showing the wrong dates on my Past Returns section. I have one open return which is for the correct period (1st Jan to 31st Mar) and it is due tomorrow. I am reluctant to file it though because according to QB it will show I have submitted two returns or the same period.
Just need to know how to get rid of this error , I have sent invoices previously and haven’t changed anything ?
Original commenter did not share additional details
I would have expected some basic project management functions, but there does not seem to be any. I'm frustrated by the lack of functionality and thinking of cancelling
cant seem to save changes on only 1 subcontractor in quickbooks
When I try to log in to the QBO Communitay page for example to make a post I get Authentication errors, credentials incorrect, etc messages although I can log in to my Intuit account. Sometimes on the Community page on top right I see a round circle with initials of my username and I think when I click that it gives my username (email ID) and an option to log in to the community page. When I change browser from Chrome to Firefox I could log into the Intuit account and also the Community page where i am writing this post. I am not sure if it was one log in or two log ins. Currently as I type on the top right I see the round circle icon with my initials which when I click I see my username (email ID) with an option to visit the Community page. On the left of this icon I see icon of 3 people and when I click the drop down arrow beside it I see the usual options of 1) My profile, 2) Notification and 3) Sign out. This means there is a) Intuit log which lets one to sign in to Intui
The Transaction ID is an important field for Accountants especially in reports such as General Ledger and Journals. It is a hit and miss apparently determined based on: 1) QBO v QBOA set of Books, 2) Live set of Books vs Intuit's sample databases, 3) some reports may have it some may not have this field, 4) New layout vs Old layout in reports. This is very silly, frustrating and nightmarish when testing or coming up with canned reports for Auditors.I think Intuit have been chopping and changing around this and other things.
QuickBooks representatives have confirmed that QBSE currently does not provide sufficient accounting information to be accepted by HMRC if they requested accounts from a Self Employed Business and also that QBSE would not "comply with HMRC's Making Tax Digital (MTD) regulations." (see thread here: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-uk/other-questions/re-is-qbse-just-a-tax-return-aid-not-an-actual-accounting/01/1498659 ) Since all self employed businesses will need to comply with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) in 2026 - Please can someone from Quickbooks confirm the following: Will QBSE be improved to be compatible with MTD before 2026? Will QBSE be improved to the degree that it would be acceptable by HMRC if they requested business accounts? Thank you.
I am following all the instructions given correctly, however it says error importing.

Hi, Is it possible to view only the customer payment as a single transaction rather than allocated to several customer invoices. In other accounting packages you only see the customer payment until you click onto the payment then it shows which customer invoices have been allocated to this payment?RegardsSharon
90% of invoices are received via email, as they should be. However, sometimes my clients don't receive them. There is no known reason for this as they are clients that have received them in the past? Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?
I can’t for the life of me find the monthly subscription invoices from quick books. Can someone please show me where I can find them?
