QuickBooks Q&A

mobile check deposit

My QuickBooks Checking account is active and in good standing. I don't get an app error message when trying to use mobile check deposit — instead, when I called support, an agent verbally told me the account is "not eligible." No specific reason was given, and no path to resolve it was offered.I've now spent significant time on the phone (1.5+ hours, transferred through 5 different agents) and no one has been able to tell me what's actually causing the ineligible status or what I need to do to fix it. This is blocking me from depositing a paper check from a client.Can a moderator or QuickBooks staff member please look into the backend eligibility status on my account and let me know the specific reason and how to resolve it?

I have just installed QB 2020 and while restoring my Company File I was asked for a a User Name and password.  User Name was Admin so I left it as is, I made a password and logged out and when I tried to log in again I had a continuing error on my password.  My password is correct the problem is it is showing a User Name other that Admin so how do I change that.  Usually there is a link for forgot my User Name, there is not.  How can I get in?Thanks 

I am using QB Premier. If I create a Sales Order for parts x, y, and z. Those parts then need to be ordered from channel partner vendor so, from the sales order, I select "create purchase order" which will carry through the parts(or items) and quantity from the sales order to produce a purchase order that will go to the vendors. It also carries through the "customer" from the sales order which is paired with each item on the Purchase order. When I receive the parts from the vendor with an invoice and create the bill for that PO, all items from that PO have the "billable" box checked. I do not want this box checked. These are not billable to the customer except by the invoice created from the Sales Order. I have "unchecked" the preference to "mark all expenses as billable" but it appears that, because there is a customer paired with the item on the bill, that preference does not apply and the billable box is automatically checked! I spend a lot of time unchecking those bo

The bank feeds for my BOA checking account stopped downloading. I refresh and it says completed but no new transactions are populated. However They work for the CC credit card accounts but not for the checking. I also tried to create a new QBO Desktop account and link to the checking account and in the new file the transactions are downloading. Is this a bank or QBO filed issue? How can I solve this issue?

Hi,We are preparing for an external audit, and I've realized we need a SOC 1 Type 2 report (also known as SSAE 18 or ISAE 3402) for QuickBooks Online as part of our financial statement audit.Could you let me know:Do you provide a SOC 1 Type 2 report (not SOC 2)? What period does the most recent report cover? How can we obtain it (e.g., under NDA)? If a SOC 1 report is not available, what other compliance documentation can you provide instead?Thanks!

I cannot login to one of my companies. Getting an error message

HiMy accountant needs to see all my expenses by category ie Advertising / Rent / Postage etc - I have all these categories set up in Quickbooks, but can't work out how to save each one out as a separate Excel file. Any help much appreciated.BestFrances

Hi,I first go to Vendors, I choose the vendor I want, and when I have all the bills of a determined vendor, It’s impossible to know what bill is related to a “customer/project” (information that is shown in a column within each bill).Is there any report of list I can have both concepts related (bills and customer/project)?Thanks in advance!

Hello! We’re using QB Pro Plus 2024 desktop, and about a week ago I noticed 2 entries that I did not enter. One was from March 2023 that shows an open balance on our aging summary, and one was from July 2025 showing a small open balance on FUTA in the payroll liabilities window. I checked the Audit Trail and the last update to the 2023 entry was from June 2023 “to account for statement charges”, no activity after that whatsoever. July 2025 outstanding FUTA balance, as of this morning, has vanished without any action on my part. Is there a glitch with the program? Is my QB being hacked? I’m not sure what’s happening or why, or what else might happen if we can’t figure out how to fix it! Thank you

My client had accidentally voided an invoice. Can we turn it back or do we need to recreate it? Because the data inside disappeared. 

exporting data to QB Enterprise Desktop, reconciliation starts at last month but has no history of previous reconciliations.  How do I export this date?

In QB Online, is there a way to create a custom report for an AR Aging Detail Report, that breaks down what is owed by product/service? Trying to track aging retention separately, which we have broken out into a separate current asset account which is the standard workaround for tracking customer retention. I know we could run a separate balance sheet, but we’d really like to see retention aging in the same report even if there’s a custom report or excel integration workaround.

We do a lot of booths at events and receive payments for goods through PayPal. I have my PayPal transactions set up to come through the PayPal feed. I have an instance where I have an invoice that I created for a customer where I need to use some of these payments from a booth and apply them to that invoice. Is this possible?

At some point in May 2020, I ran a verify that told me I had an error and had Uncategorized Income and Uncategorized Expense in an entry in 2017.  I found the entry and deleted the 2-line entries but when I closed and reopened QB--they came back.  My issue is that I don't have any Uncategorized Income and Expense entries.  I never download any banking transactions into my QB....so how did this happen and how do I fix it.  It doesn't affect my totals on my financials because it created a debit and credit entry that simply offset each other, but I want to get it out of there.  I ran a Rebuild, but it didn't correct the problem.  But, my Verify runs each day don't catch it any more...so what do I do?

Not really sure which category this falls under. Total noob here with QB online. Trying to file my taxes and I notice under my P&L report that some of my income transactions are categorized under "Uncategorized Income" instead of the "Service/Fee" category like the rest. I never really used invoices previously but started encountering this problem once I started using them and I can't figure out how to change them over. Usually I can just find it in my banking and undo it to put in the right category but I guess because these are invoices I matched, the transactions aren't showing up in my banking under Categorized. How do I get these categorized correctly under "Service/Fee"?

I’ve been trying for 20 minutes to get into my QB Accountant online page to work.  I put in my password, select my company and it just thinks. Cleared history, tried Microsoft edge, Google and Brave browsers, same issue… It thinks once it’s into the online system.  It’s accepting my password, just not doing anything but timing out, no outages reported.  Any ideas on how to even report an outage if you can’t get to your account page?

someone please help me change my legal name in quickbooks, i have been on hold for 30 minutes  (Title has been edited by moderator for clarity) 

We pay some employees a monthly bonus check and Intuit is charging us for each check, not each employee.  Is anyone else having this issue?  I've been on the chat and the phone and none of their "experts" seem to know how to resolve this.  The invoices also do not specify which period the fee is for.  For being accounting software, their invoices are badly lacking necessary detail.

We are general contractors.  In order to invoice a customer for a construction draw, we need to know all the current expenses and income for a specific customer (job).  (We have the “jobs” under customers and subcustomers not projects.)  We have tried the Profit and Loss Detail by Customer report but this takes materials (cost of goods sold) and does all the fancy accounting stuff and applies invoices to them.   We just want a simple report that will show a list of current expenses (materials, subcontractors, etc.) and any payments that the customer has made.  We would not be using it for tax purposes, just simply to see the status of a job at a specific time.  It could be like a check register, listed chronologically, and a running balance on the side.  Or it could be similar to the profit loss statement but without the cost of goods stuff going on.  We have also tried the Troansaction List by Customer but it also splits the cost of goods sold up.  Might be doing something wrong.  Any
