I'm buying an existing business for $65k and I'm using my own money as a downpayment which is $40k then the Seller agreed that I can pay the remaining $25k in a montly basis for $2k. How do I journal entry this one for tax purposes? Thank you!
I have been able to match bank transactions to journal entries in the past, but when I chose match and entered the correct information for the journal entry I'm looking for, QBO doesn't bring anything up. Any ideas on what is going on? I have double and triple checked my dates entered, put the journal entry number and nothing comes up.
I have a set of books with open AR going back to 2018. Any suggestions on how to clean this up? Thank you. I’m confident most, if not all, have been paid. The record keeping is what’s poor.
We have employees who have child support garnishments. We charge them a $5.00 processing fee. We use Quickbooks Online Payroll to process our payroll. I just noticed that there is a credit in our "Employee Advance Other Liability" account for the amount we have been deduction from the employees checks for the processing fee. Is this correct? What entry should I do to zero it out?

Hello,We are building a spec home. We are not yet done. It was suggested that we place all expenses into a Work in Progress account. I am new to Work in Progress accounts, and do not know how to place the payroll expenses that we paid out on this job in to the WIP account. We are using quickbooks desktop. Thank you,

How anyone else run into this? Any help would be appreciated. Trying to make an expense account inactive, as it has not been used for 11 years. Getting the message Failed to inactive some accountsUnable to make 1 account inactive. Any ideas where to check on the setting which is creating this error message?
We have a customer that has a large balance on her account and we know she is not going to pay it. We want to take it out of our AR, but where would we move it? Do we create some sort of uncollectible account?
My invoices aren't showing up in my P&L even though they are marked as paid.
The expense category of COGS is not showing up as an option as I try to categorize my expenses. I follow the guidance from the AI Assistant, but nothing has worked so far.
I have a check 1022 in my QB transactions. How can I view to see what the check was written for
this is for small business certification requirements
can I see if I already have customers in the same zip code?
I found how to map the income side of the invoice through the product/service selection and set up. However the AR parent and Sub accounts set up don't seem to have a relationship with the invoice or customer that I can dictate. There is a category, but that seems unrelated to the chart of accounts.I track ARs for Client expense, ARs for Commissions, ARs for Fixed Billing, but currently it is putting them all in the same AR account.I am need to set it up this way becuase my business structure includes my clients and their customers and I need to track both. I track my client via the AR since I bill them, but need to tract the jobs/projects for their customers that we bring them business from.
I'm hoping it isn't sending two to my customers/clients too.

Hello, geniuses 🙂 I've been doing bookkeeping for many years, but I'm not a trained bookkeeper, so I learn a lot as I go from my CPA. At once point, he instructed me to close out the previous year's retained earnings every year on January 1st, so I do. I do this by a journal entry debiting the retained earnings account and crediting each partner's capital account accordingly. I'm just now noticing, while running a report of the retained earnings account, that each of these annual debits just puts the retained earnings further and further in the negative. Is this normal? It kind of makes the retained earnings account useless. Is it possible that Quickbooks is NOT moving the net income to retained earnings at the end of each year? If it were, then my journal entry would simply zero out the net earnings account. Thanks for your help.
I'm on QBAccountant, and I am receiving a blind carbon copy of every invoice that is being sent out by one of my clients. I have checked the settings both on the firm side, and on the client side and there are no default emails in the Sales section. SS attached. So why am I receiving these emails? I have considered setting a rule in my inbox to ignore things from QB but that seems risky. [Screenshot removed contains PII: Email Address]
