Is there a way to have the entire amount of an expense, including the HST, show on the reports?

Hi stpaulspcai-gmai,

 

I can see how this would be handy for tracking your cash flow. You may be interested in checking out the Cash Flow Planner. This newer feature may be useful when looking at what you're paying out. I'll go through the report options for viewing expense totals.

 

You can add a Tax column to your report by clicking the Micro Gear from the top of the report and checking the Tax Amount box. Your HST is recorded as a liability; therefore, it won't show on an expense report as an expense. If you'd like more information on customizing reports, you can review this article; Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

 

It's possible to export the list of bills or expenses from the expense tab by clicking the export icon at the top; it looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow on it. 

 

Here is how you would get to this option:

  • Go to Expenses from the left navigation menu.
  • Select the Expenses tab.
  • You can filter what you want to export using the Filter button at the top of the list. Click the Export Icon.

There are reports that you can customize, like transaction details, accounts payable, and expense reports. They can all be found by clicking Reports on the left navigation menu. What format works best for the information you want to see is your decision.

 

If you'd like me to elaborate on any of these choices, you can reach back out. I'm here to help. Take Care.
