Is there a way to have paid invoices to flow over to the transaction portion of the program as income instead of having to input the income in two different locations?

Hi there, @creativecookiesk.

Allow me to provide an overview of what's happening.

The invoices in QuickBooks Self-Employed are for tracking purposes only and do not affect your business or tax reports. Therefore, they do not contribute to your business income or owed taxes.

However, the Transactions page is the only place where you can view and analyze the data related to them.

Additionally, I'd like to leave this article with details on handling your transactions: Schedule C and expense categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Don't hesitate to reply if you need more guidance about managing your transactions or other QuickBooks products. I'm always around to help!
