Thanks for sharing your concern and adding a screenshot, @JFredMDWO.

 

I'm here to provide insights about running the Profit & Loss (P&L) Standard report in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

The P&L report shows your income, expenses, and net income in your company file. How this report reflects on your end depends on your customized settings. If you want to open an unfiltered report, simply close its window and reopen a new Profit & Loss report.

 

Based on the screenshot that you've shared, it seems that you're running the Transaction Detail by Account report. Please note that this report shows the transactions and total for each account in your Chart of Accounts.

 

In addition, you can add a screenshot of the actual Profit & Loss report you're seeing on your end. This will help us further diagnose the issue and provide you with appropriate steps to fix it. Any additional info would be much appreciated.
