QuickBooks Q&A

HelloSo I started a side business.  and in July realized I needed something stronger fro bookkeeping and inventory management and went with QBO.  so I started doing business in may but didn't get started till July with QBO.   The other thing to note is I went with starting QBO with invoicing knowing I would catch up later,  So I put in inventory items and all my ld invoices from square by hands to start moving forward in July.  I did get banking sync, deposits matched up ect.  now it's time to enter the bills for all the inventory I purchased.  and yes it took me till this weekend to get to it.   so now I go to put my first bill from 4/17/25 that has 6 machines I bought to resell in.  and I get the "As of Date" error.  so through all my research I can do I have figure out that it won't let me enter a inventory item before the date it was first sold.   when I look at some inventory it shows me -6, other inventory not

Lately in QBO, Intuit tries adding new features by introducing them via popup messages. I find it very annoying and would like to stop them.

We are looking to switch from Stripe Invoicing to Quickbooks and can't figure out how to change the 'from' email from [email address removed] to our own email/domain. We would prefer not to advertise which accounting/invoicing system we are using for security and branding reasons. We have been able to on the invoicing systems we have used so far. Is this an offered feature or how are other customers getting around invoiced using a third-party email? Thanks!

Hi, My business model needs QB with Advanced Inventory and I do not want to upgrade past 2017 - Is it possible for me to legally purchase Quickbooks Desktop with Advanced Inventory from 2014-2017 from someone else and transfer their licence to me? Thank you, Bruna

The program just sends the invoices with the default Intuit email address. But if I send an invoice alone a screen pops up with my gmail address as the default. But this screen does not pop up with batch invoicing, even though the batched invoices checked are to the same client.

Hey there, We've noticed aroudn 36 hours ago, webhooks would sporadically not send to the Zapier Quickbooks integration. So far, it's been reported with the Payment and Invoice Entities.  We subscribe to these webhooks usin Operation_Create. We still are receiving webhooks from other entities and operations. And even some Payment and Invoice Entities are coming through, but we've had dozens of users report in that webhooks were not sent. We've also started getting reports that some  Is there any incident or degradation that is currently impacting these entities? Or has anyone else encountered missing webhooks?

Can QB Pro 2008 be installed on a laptop running Windows 10? Or must I buy a new version of QB? I have an extremely small company, only two employees, and have been happily using QB Pro 2008 since 2008. It is installed on a Dell Inspiron running Windows Vista, and an HP Pavilion running Windows 7. We don't need any of the QB capabilities available post-QB 2008, so haven't bought new versions. Yesterday, the Inspiron said that QB was expired and can't open the company file. I updated QB and got the same error message. QB is still running on the HP with Windows 7, but the computer must be replaced. I don't want to buy a new version of QB or a subscription because 2008 does everything we need. Suggestions? 

My hard drive went down on my old laptop so I'm trying to restore everything.  I have the installation disc but every time i attempt to install Windows Security says it has a Trojan Horse and will not complete the installation.

Intuit sent an email saying they updated my quickbooks with an automatic invoice reminder being sent out. I don't want that so now I have to figure out how to turn that off. The instructions they give in the email do not work on Self Employed website. Should it not be IF I wanted this I could turn it on?? Instead now I'm spending an hour trying to figure out how to turn it off.

Q:  Quickbooks Mac Plus 2024 V23.1.9 R10.1 Compatible with Mac Tahoe 26 ?

Does anyone have suggestions for help in cleaning up a balance sheet?  I started using QuickBooks several years ago and was self-taught for my own business, so things are messy in my files.  I know what I'm doing now, but I really need to get the balance sheets cleaned up so they reflect our current business and I'm not sure how to go about it.  I would love to either hire someone or get some guidance for the three files I have. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much!

My bank balance is different from the QBO balance. I stopped downloading bank info after 3 months and the bank balance is stopped at that balance. the QBO balance is correct. I excluded and deleted all 3 months of downloaded transactions and reentered them manually. All transactions are reconciled but the bank balance is still the same. Is there a way to reset the bank balance 

Did I do everything right to get direct deposit please help me out

PR requires to discount 10% TAX from the total bill value.We create the vendor bill -> We create a check to the vendor. First line we use the account payable category with the total bill amount.

Hello, I enabled multi currencies.  I think this was a big mistake!One - so now my cash flow planner is disabled!!  That warning needs to pop up!!Two - I need a different bank account for every currency?! Am I misunderstanding what I am reading?  I need a bank account for each currency?   There is no conversion ability?  That makes no sense.  I don't want 6 different income banks.   I feel like I am stuck with a mess. Is there any way to get the cash flow planner operational again?   Thank you.

Hello, Looking for Guidance from QuickBooks on this subject.  The Guidance I have found from QuickBooks does not cover California OT rules that are over and above the Federal FLSA rules.  It is my understanding that the law requires the tracking of only overtime that meets the FLSA rules, so daily OT over 8 hours does not count, only weekly OT over 40 hours. I spent 3 hours last Friday chatting with QB support, 3 different associates.  One seemed to share that there was a solution if you subscribe to QuickBooks Time, which we do not. Very frustrating as I got no answer that works for CORE Payroll. How does a California Employer that uses QuickBooks Online CORE Payroll get the tracking correct on pay stubs and the year end W2?   I'm thinking we are likely going to need a second Overtime Item and a second Double time item, one that is for overtime that qualifies under the FLSA rules and one that is for the "excess" California overtime that we

What has happened to the QB online appearance?  It sometimes looks the same and some days it looks like a bad PayPal knockoff, which is one of the worst possible programs to copy.  It is not consistent and is not user friendly.  Why do they keep changing things?  It is just harder to use and harder to find what you need. 

I manage multiple QuickBooks Online companies with separate subscriptions and different EINs. Recently, vendors began appearing in a company where they were never paid (no bills, checks, expenses, or bank transactions). This also impacted 1099 previews. After investigation, the issue appears to have started when the same online banking credentials were used to connect bank feeds across multiple QBO companies. Bank feeds are now disconnected and separate banking logins are being established. Important context:• Each company has its own EIN and subscription• Vendors are not shared between companies• The affected vendor was never paid in the other company• No 1099s were e-filed through QuickBooks This appears to be a cross-company data integrity / identity-mapping issue, not duplicate entry or cleanup within a single file. I am looking for guidance on:1. Whether this type of cross-company vendor contamination can be fully resolved via Intuit backend escalation2. B

My laptop that has my QuickBooks desktop on it is out of space so I can not update my QuickBooks.  I bought a new laptop and I am trying to move QB's to the new laptop.  I have done a backup but now I can't get back in my original QuickBooks to transfer the app because I have pushed "install the update later" button too many times and it won't let me in without updating and I can't update because it just gets stuck for two reasons, one I am out of space and two I don't have enough space to update to Windows 11.  How do I install the QB's app on my new computer without logging into QB's?  I have the company files backed up and I have my license number.

Hello,My company recently double paid a vendor for a service. I first applied a vendor credit but then we ended up asking for a refund and received it. How do I record all of this in QBO?

I work for an accounting firm and we have clients that use QB Pro 2024 desktop.  We also manage some clients books utilizing QB Pro 2024 desktop.  We don't want to go to the Online Edition and our clients don't want to go to the Online Edition.  I read somewhere that we were no longer going to be able to use QB Pro for desktop.  Is this true?  We still get new clients that we would like to add a new company to QB utilizing our desktop version.  I want to make sure I can still continue to add new company's and manage their books before I set them up and find out its not going to work anymore.  Can someone give me some insight to this change? Am I going to be forced to convert all of my clients to the online edition (which we don't want to do and may find another bookkeeping software before ever doing that).
