Reports and accounting

I have downloaded and catergorized transactions from my bank and credit card.  I want a simple report to just list what I've spent for expenses and the amount of income.  The various reports I try don't work.  Profit and Loss includes only some of the categories.  Balance sheet has them all, but I only want the report to include entries from July until now and when I choose a custom report and enter the dates, all the credit card transactions from the year are included.  Any ideas? 

I called customer service asking for what I thought should be a very easy statement or report to send to customers and they said IT has to create a custom one for me (which is amazing).  Here all what I want:  I accept retainers then bill my time at an hourly rate.  As is do work on a case on a day I then create an invoice that includes the date, product/service, a description, the QTY, rate, and total for that invoice.  Each day I work in the case is a separate invoice.I need a statement that includes all invoices and payments for a given customer and that includes the product/service and description information for all invoices to date.  I cannot find how to create a statement I can mail that includes product/service and description.  I also need it to make clear to the client what they balance due is.It is just hard for me to believe this is not a basic thing many business need and use.  They said statements in QB are not as detailed as invoices.

I recently acquired a client that has no computerized books. They were all pen/paper for YEARS. I started by entering/reconciling 2024 beginning January 1, 2024. I entered the bank balance on that day for the Opening Balance. After that, I entered transactions forward to current. Therefore, the current reconciled period is October 31, 2024.   However, now I need to go backwards and enter the prior years transactions and reconcile them. I opted to start with December 2023 and go month by month backwards eventually ending at January 2023. Then begin that process again with 2022, and so on. My issue is I can't figure out how to bypass the last reconciled period. I already updated the Opening Balance to that on the statement on December 1, 2023. However, the reconciliation screen is pulling the beginning balance from the end of October 2024. Obviously, that won't match the beginning balance for December 2023. How do I bypass this? Should I start with January 2023 and move forward?&nbs

How do I export a list of vendors with their tax IDs shown? When I follow the steps others have posted the tax id prints in an encrypted form. Is there a way to show it decrypted? example output: {"idps":"2gIAAAAbAQAEAAAAFAUACE9lWDUyTC9lBgAGwkPY1f+/mfrKHDqjg4G6AVEj15dYmtT5UEAuMXTFbj7PxsZwo6onOn8ei3w="}

I have contractors that have wrong 1099 amounts.  I tried to run the transactions by vendor, but the contractors don't show up as vendors.   I need to find out how the missing transactions were recorded and correct them so the 1099 is right.

We are trying to get an average monthly spend on expenses that our clients have reimbursed us for for all clients.  PNL's apply payments and zero out the expenses.  So that doesn't work.  

We are a small nonprofit preschool that offers financial aid/tuition discounts to some students.  There is a set amount we budget for scholarship/tuition discounts each year.  The money we receive from donations is sometimes allotted specifically to scholarships/tuition discounts but we also receive general operating donations that end up in a pool of scholarship spending, supplies purchases, etc. I want to represent the amount budgeted for tuition discounts and the amount coming out of that budget without affecting our balance.  I tried creating a customer account, similar to our other restricted grants, but realized that entering the budgeted amount as a pledge affected our Grants balance.  I am probably missing something super obvious, but feel totally stuck at the moment! Help? 

My employees cannot access the mobile app features with only expense submitter role.

We are a non profit that takes donations. I would like to provide clients with a record of donation amounts.

I need to verify a date an email was sent. All I can see is "last emailed" date

I had 3 checks from donors returned last month for NSF. They were part of batches of multiple checks that were deposited into the bank. I'm not sure how to record these as journal entries. On my bank statement it says 'Chargeback'.

On invoices there is a dropdown called Invoice Activity. where does the viewed information come from

Last week, I ran a Sales by Product/Service Summary report for last month on an accrual basis. This week I ran it again and it produced different amounts. Can someone please explain this? I also noticed that a product is not in the new report which was included in the previous report.

I pay sales tax every month, sometimes I start them and finish them on different days. I can run a report on QB today and the numbers are different then they were yesterday for a month that ended a week ago. I have it set to cash not accrual. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any advice.

I have a cash-basis construction business.  Our customers will hold a retainage amount from progress payments, to be paid to us upon completion of the job. (*Not to be confused with a prepaid retainer that a customer pays before work begins.) I set up an Other Current Asset account called "Retainage Receivables" along with an Item, "RetRcv" (Retainage Receivables) that links to the "Retainage Receivables" current asset account.  When I bill a customer for a progress payment, I then use a negative number for the Retainage Amount.   For example:  Customer's charges are $10,000, retainage is shown as line item RetRcv for -$1,000.  Net invoice amount = $9,000.  The $1,000 retainage shows up on my Balance Sheet as a Current Asset (Retainage Receivables), since it is owed to us at a later date.  Customer pays the net invoice amount of $9,000.  However, my P&L shows Sales Income of $10,000, not the $9,000 that was actually paid.  I do

This is for QB Desktop Premier Nonprofit Edition 2019 Release R17P.When I enter a deposit, if the line is for a check, I put the check number in the CHK NO. column. If I print the deposit, these check numbers show up as expected. But if I run a Deposit Detail report, from either the right click menu or the Reports menu, there's a column headed by Num but no check numbers.If the line is for a payment received, that check number shows up as expected. I must be missing a trick here, for what good is a Detail Report that doesn't show the details that were entered into the transaction? If I have to run two reports and merge them manually outside QB, that would be acceptable (for my very small organization, anyway.)

Previously always had a footer printed on the estimates/invoices - but since the new update online QB it is not showing when viewing or printing the files.  Need to figure out how/why the footer we have saved in the default template is not appearing.

Do we have an option to totally delete an unused account from the chart of accounts? I wanted to delete one my accounts from there but it only give me an option to make it inactive. No, I don't want to make it that way and makes it stays still in my QB. I want an option to delete.please help

How do I fix this and get a normal P&L report?   

Hello everyone, in QB I can access an invoice list with the open balance per invoice as of today. I need a similar report, but with a specific date, for example, as of 12/31/2023. This report should show the outstanding balance per invoice as of 12/31/2023. Does anyone know if this is possible or how I can achieve this in another way?

Hello,I am looking for help understanding what I need to do to record the correct payment process to record in QuickBooks payment from contractor to pay for professional engineering fees.    The contractor paid us directly via Zelle, and we paid the engineer via  Zelle. I have created a client trust account, and I am unsure how to post the transaction.  Presently it is booked as income and expensed under professional fees.   I believe that I would need to create a current liability account.Please help me with the transactions I need to complete to correct on the GL. Thank you
