Learn how to filter the Profit and Loss report by bank account. QuickBooks Online does not have a way to filter your Profit and Loss report by bank account directly. However, you can use Location tracking to get essentially the same information. Bank accounts are classified as Balance Sheet accounts. The Profit and Loss report is driven by income and expense accounts, so Balance Sheet accounts don't affect it. With Location tracking enabled you can set up a location for each bank account. Assign each transaction you enter to one of those location/bank accounts. And filter the Profit and Loss report by location to see each bank account's PL. We show you how to do each of these steps. Step 1: Turn on Location tracking Before you can set up locations for your bank accounts, you must turn on the Location tracking feature. Note: The Location tracking feature is available only in QuickBooks Online Plus. To turn on Location tracking: Go to Settings ⚙.
