QuickBooks Online (QBO) does not have a budget vs budget comparison report as a built-in feature, George.

 

QBO provides budgeting tools that allow you to create budgets and generate Budget vs. Actual reports. Please note that comparing two separate budgets, such as one for the current year versus one for next year, cannot be done directly within QuickBooks Online. However, you can print and show it by clicking on the print icon when generating the Budget vs. Actual reports.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Search for and open the Budget Overview or Budget vs. Actuals report.
  3. At the top right of the report, find the Print icon.
  4. Click the Print icon to send the report directly to your printer.


 

While QuickBooks does not have a Budget vs Budget comparison report, you can create two separate budgets, export them to Excel, and manually compare them. Alternatively, leveraging third-party tools integrated with QBO can simplify advanced budget comparisons.
