what would cause a bill to show up on the upaid bills report?

It will show in the Unpaid Bills report if no payment was attached to the bill, Christie.

The report would automatically show data from bills that have not yet been marked as paid. If the bill is a duplicate or was inadvertently entered twice, you can delete it to remove the transaction from the report. Here's how:

1. Open the bill.
2. Click More at the bottom and choose Delete.
3. Select Delete to confirm that you want to remove the transaction.

If it's an actual bill that needs to be paid, go to this article for step-by-step guidance on recording payments or marking bills as paid.: Pay bills in QuickBooks Online.
