I created an estimate prior my year end , I am told I can not connect this an invoice in the next year ?

Hi bruce6,

Welcome to the Community. QuickBooks Online is a versatile program with the features you need to complete your daily tasks with peace of mind. I'd be glad to provide you with information on the estimate.

The program allows you to link an estimate from a previous year-end to an invoice for the following year. You can consult an accountant to ensure that your transactions are correctly recorded and that your books are balanced. If you don't have an accountant, we can help you locate a ProAdvisor in your local area.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
